Congrats on the purchase. That's a very rare car on this forum.

Just ask away....the only difference being the body/doors/grille I can't see why any 760 owner couldn't help you.

A six cylinder is a rare Bertone coupe. Most are 16 valve turbo fours.

Wow, interesting find. I did some time working on 760s, you're in for it with the cooling system on that one. Damn Peugeot motor is not very graceful, but that said, you have an incredible car.

What's going on with the radiator swap?

I changed a radiator on a 264 with a leatherman in the dark once--my memory was it was not that heavy a lift...but it was a long time ago.

The radiator should arrive today, ordered all new hoses belts and filters. Got the radiator out in a little over a half hour, expect it to go right in. Really looking forward to taking this baby out for a spin.
