This 1969 Simca 1204 (chassisEC056702E) is described by its seller as a genuine factory rally car that they purchased from famed collector of weird cars and BaT friend Myron Vernis some years ago. Then as now the car was in need of restoration, and though work has yet to start, the seller has spent the past few years amassing what sounds like a good collection of rare NOS parts. Provided photos and hard info are somewhat limited, however the ad does claim that the car remains essentially complete and unchanged since its last race nearly 50 years ago, further noting extensive supporting documentation. First featured on BaT just weeks short of a decade ago, hopefully next time this car is highlighted it will be restored and running. Find it here on eBay in Axton, Virginia with a $12,500 starting bid and no further reserve. Special thanks to BaT reader Kyle K. for this submission.

Reads the ad: “This is something very unusual, a 1969 Simca 1204 factory rally car. This car was entered by Chrysler Corporation in the 1969 rally championship, Scott Harvey was the driver. Comes with various documentation to back up authenticity, including letters from Chrysler Corporation, registrations, customs documents etc. Clear title. The car is very complete and very original, almost exactly the way it competed in 1969. It still has things like the twin Halda rally computers, rally headlights, Gislaved winter tires, driver’s bucket racing seat and studded snow tires. An odd feature is an extra tank in the hatch back for the long stages.”

The seller continues: “I have never tried to start it, it’s been stored indoors with Marvel in the engine while I was parts hunting all over the world to get everything ready for the restoration. I have collected many hard to find parts over the years which are included with the sale. Unlike some of its predecessors the Simca 1204 was never very successful in rally competition. Then again it’s a genuine factory rally car–where will you find another one? This is one I really wish I’d gotten around to restoring, but considering its heritage I wanted to do it with 100% correct NOS parts.”

The seller ends the ad by claiming that they’re getting out of the old car hobby, selling “all my 30+ cars from Alfa Romeo to Zeppelin.” Here’s a few more up on eBay currently.
