FOR SALE 1966 CITROEN 2CV
Very reluctantly I have to sell my beautiful 1966 2CV, I just find I haven’t got enough time to drive this car as I also have a 1971 DS 21. It would be much better if someone else could have the pleasure of using it.
About the car, it was originally bought in 1966 in Marseilles by a gentleman who was Vice Principal at St. Pauls School in Concord, New Hampshire. When he bought it he and his wife drove the car around Europe for a few months, and then had it shipped back to the States.
Interestingly all the original purchase and shipping papers are still intact, as well as numerous other documents relating to the car. He then kept it in a garage at St. Pauls School for many years. After thirty something years he decided to sell the car to some people from Warner, New Hampshire. They had it housed inside all of it’s life and then because of their lack of mechanical knowledge, they decided to sell it after owning it for 3 years.
It was at that point that I heard about “Google”, and went to take a look. Like any car one goes to look at, I expected the worst, I was absolutely flabbergasted. Took it for a drive, which it needed badly. I then made an offer, which they accepted and picked it up on a trailer three days later.
The car is original in every way, it has the original 425 cc engine, which runs excellently. There are no oil leaks or leaks of any kind from the engine or brakes. I have installed a new clutch and a thrust bearing. Also a new exhaust system, and have had the two front fenders painted, they had some dents in the top, had the dynamo totally re-built, had the carburetor totally overhauled.
The car now has sixty one thousand kilometers, approximately thirty seven thousand miles. On one of the photographs you can still see EXPORT written inside the engine compartment in white chalk.
It has its original left hand-side drivers door mirror. That in itself is very rare, and as seat-belts were not mandatory in France at the time, Citroen, when they imported the car into America installed front seat belts, they came from an Air France plane. The tyres are all in very good condition, there are numerous amounts of spares in the trunk.
Obviously with the 425 cc engine, it limits the speed somewhat, but having said that the car might be best suited for a collector rather than someone who wants to go 60 mph down the highway.
The 2CV was built for the French farmers to bring their goods to the market, not to go cruising the highway!!
Please do not hesitate to call or email with any questions. I am asking $11,000.00, but will consider any serious offers. The car is garaged and located in New Hampshire.

I have these Citroën collections available:
Hi,
I’ve owned Citroens and Panhards since 1968 and find its time to sort out my collection.
“A” Series cars:
‘60 2CV, ‘65 2CV,’70 Mehari(good body), ‘70 Mehari (bady body), ‘70 Mehari (partial wooden body), All aluminum body based on the Mehari shape w/ chassis and driveline from a Dyane. This special is extremely
well made and shows strong aircraft quality construction. Several engines and transmissions. Many new parts (brakes, etc.)
“DS-ID” series:
‘67 ID Break, straight and basically solid, ‘71 DS-BVH, apart for chassis restoration, new aluminum trunk floor is in and chassis is painted, eady for assembly. ‘69 DS-BVH chassis w/ Webasto sun roof. Chassis is solid enough for use. I pulled the engine for use in the ‘67 Break. ‘73 DS23 BVH EFI, car is very rough but engine is good. I was going to use the engine in the ‘71 chassis. Boxes and boxes of new hydraulic and other parts. I have rebuilt steering racks ready to install. I have A/C units for each car. I also have turning headlight units(with hardware) for 2 cars + the DS23 has them already
“SM” series:
‘72 SM-5sp, body is straight, interior is rough. I drove this car from Colorado and lost the engine 100 miles from home, 4yrs. ago. I have bought another engine that is supposed to be a rebuilt 3.0. I have two other engines for parts. I have a set of stainless steel exhaust valves for installation in the 3.0.
“Ami” series:
‘72 Ami Super Break: This has the 1015cc GS engine and is a daily driver. Some rust but it may be one of three running cars in the USA. The engine needs pushrod tube seals but I just carry extra oil. I have an extra GS engine, probably a 1200cc. I had thought about a Super 2CV or Panhard!
“Panhard” series:
‘55 Z-1, all aluminum body, ‘56 partial aluminum body(runs, doesn’t stop), ‘60 PL17(for parts,runnable engine) ‘55 Junior( I was going to use the PL17 as a donor for this project). Junior was a race car and has no interior or windshield. I have lots of parts for these cars, also.
You could offer me wads of money for each collection but I really don’t need cash( unless its Euros or gold coin!). I’d prefer to give them away and just receive a couple of running Citroens/Panhards other interesting vehicles in trade. So, I need ambitious people, committed to the cars.
I’d love to help a younger person get started. No money needed! Just lots of energy and dry space for working. The cars don’t deserve to sit out in the woods and rot.
Please don’t call asking to buy little parts. I’m not interested in selling a few things or engines, etc. I have a car dolly that is available for use. For short hauls, I can loan a trailer and help with moves. For farther moves(out of Calif.) I could help for just my expenses.

1970 DS 21 for sale – Laurel, MD
Alas, the time has come for me to part with my scruffy Goddess, the 1970 DS21 that’s been shipwrecked on the curb in front of my house for a couple years like the grand old wreck of the SS Ile De France. This wonderful car was my daily driver for six years, until its starter finally faded on me, and had it in storage until about three years ago, when I lost my garage space. I’ve been holding out, hoping I could get it on its feet again, but I’ve just realized I’m neither not mechanically adept nor financially flush enough to give her what she needs, so I’d like to see her go to a happy home with someone who gets her—and not the wretched rabble who’ve come by with limp offers, saying “yeah, ah’d like to fix ‘er up good, drop in a small-block V8” and other nonsense.
The bad side’s fairly obvious. This car looks like pickled ass right now, a rainbow of paint colors, fade, and rust. Interior’s all sun-shredded, and the tires are tired (hell, I put 60K on the things, so they’ve got a good excuse). The car is not running right now, but shouldn’t need much to get it going—and I’ll add that, in six years and sixty thousand miles, this DS never left me on the roadside a single time. Now, I did have a sphere blow a diaphragm while on a 2500 mile road trip through the south about fifteen years ago, but I was able to just top off the hydraulic tank and drive it a hundred miles, leaking all the way, to where a woman had a sphere for me in rural Georgia—and you’re free to laugh that I was enough of a DS greenhorn that I didn’t know you don’t go on 2500 mile trips without a spare sphere.
The clutch is about done, and one of the CV joints was getting noisy, but everything worked well until I put it in storage. I backed into a stump in ‘95, which is why it’s got a lovely burnt-orange metallic trunk (and a masterful repair there by Denis Foley), and I replaced the torn-up original right rear fender with a nice shiny perfect one, that some dipstick promptly gouged in a parking lot. Oy vey.
The upside here is that this car is still, I believe, pretty free of structural rust, as far as I can see when I poke around underneath (it was a New Mexico car, originally), and could be a great donor car or base for the kind of restoration where you’ve got a decent set of outer panels at your disposal. If I had any financial sense, I’d tear it apart, clean up the pieces, and sell ‘em off, one by one, on eBay, but I don’t have financial sense, or I’d wouldn’t have been a Citroen driver, off and on, for the past 19 years. I really don’t have a clue what this car’s worth, and that’s not me being cagey and trying to bid it up—I know this scruffy Goddess is going to need a lot of work, a lot of investment, and a lot of enthusiasm to go anywhere. I just had a great six years on the road with my old hydropneumatic friend, and covered a lot of back roads and open highways on floating power, the Citromatic hissing and clunking away as I stayed away from the grim monotony of a world of Camry-driving drones.
It’s a whole other world, driving a D. I’ll miss it even more, but it’s time.

Come take a look, make me an offer, take on a project, and save my friend here, will you?

And when you’re pulling away, following the flatbed, or driving her, if you can beat the dead starter into life, pay no attention to me. I’ll probably just have something in my eye.
Rare Collector: 1953 Citroen Avant B11
My Dad has decided it is time for him to sell off a couple assets and the 1953 Citroen Traction Avant B11 is one of them. He bought from a guy in Vancouver who relocated and sold a collection of cars. I was surprised that my Dad got involved but he has always had a thing for cars.
I really would like to see Dad get this sold as he has let it sit since he bought it. My Dad bought it drove it home 3 years ago and parked it in his garage, very clean no rust. New fuel pump. SlideShow of 1953 Traction Avant 11B
I can be reached anytime on my cell below. As mentioned we are in Vancouver Washington.

1971 Citroën SM
Here is a slide show of the 1971 Citroen SM: CLICK HERE
“I’m selling this for a friend.” The red flag statement in any car ad, but in this case it really is just because I can gimp by “on line” and he can’t or won’t.
My friend Ivan Frank, long time Citroen mechanic, an early salesman for these cars here, and general all around mad scientist is selling this ‘71 Citroen SM after many years of proud ownership. The car has always been cared for by him, has an indicated 110,000 miles on the clock with every reason to believe it’s correct mileage.
It is the 2.7 with the 5-speed manual gearbox. Paint is mostly original with areas of spray touch up along the front of the hood (Colorado stone chips) and the right hand door and back lower part of the right front fender have been damaged and poorly repaired. The car has never been in a major accident and most importantly it HAS NO RUST!
This car is ready to drive anywhere in the country, recent work includes timing chain adjustment, a head gasket replacement, two new front spheres (rebuildable type) and recovery boots, re-bushed shift linkage, (transmission and clutch are excellent), a K&N air filter modification done 100% non-invasively, heat insulating foam on the fuel lines to carbs, optima battery, front seats reupholstered in original black leather from available kits, otherwise original interior cleaned and detailed.
During it’s time with Ivan, he installed numerous upgrades purchased from Jerry and Sylvia Hathaway of SM World: Overhauled distributor with modification for adjusting dwell from outside distributor body, “new and improved” oil cooler lines, metal fuel fitting at gas tank, brass gears replacing original plastic ones in window lifts, etc… Car fitted with original SM radio (works), stainless exhaust headers with Ansa exhaust system, car makes all the right sounds in all the right places!
Oh, about the hydropnuematics, excellent cycle times, suspension holds it’s height long after shut down, all systems work perfectly (steering, brakes, suspension) and only one or two minimal leaks, too small for me to find.
The points to nit-pick on the car are extremely few: The paint and body pluses are the originality of the paint and total lack of rust, but after 38 years there is the poorly repaired door and fender, various dings and chips, we’ll call it “patina”. The window lifts are dreadfully slow, in spite of the brass gears. The back seats don’t look as nice as the re-done fronts. One small crack in the dash. Otherwise it is the nicest Citroen SM I’ve seen, that hasn’t been the subject of a total restoration, and is perfect for anyone who wants to get in to a reliable exotic classic.
Ivan’s got it realistically priced at $15,000.
