1972 Citroën SM

Re-listing because I had so many questions I was not prepared to answer last time. Ready now.

1972 Citroen SM with its Maserati 6 cylinder 4 cam engine and automatic transmission. Sports Luxury Futuristic all in one.  Very low production model and only made for 4 years. They were only imported into the USA 2 of those years. 72 and 73. Only around 2000 total imported. which makes these SM's rare and hard to find. Especially in this condition. I am attaching a link so interested or even curious lookers can grab a little history on this car.

I would like to start with. wow. this is the most unusual car I have ever owned. It is/was so high tech for 1972. like a space age car and actually still feels that way. I don't know much about these. please feel free to ask questions or even educate me. I bought this recently from the family of a gentleman who recently passed. He has owned this Citroen SM for 20 years and had two so he obviously loved them. This car is/was still registered and driven on a regular basis with its scheduled professional maintenance always done.

This car runs and drives great and everything works as it should.  The car is absolutely rust free and the body is straight as a arrow. Paint looks great but does have a few very minor flaws. it's not show paint.  It has. I believe. a hydraulic suspension and return to center steering set up so it took a bit to get use to driving it. but I quickly adapted and it really is a fun car. It has 4 way disc brakes. (new) so it stops on a dime. ice cold air. power windows (a little slow). tilt and telescoping wheel. basically all the goodies. It was considered a sport. luxury car back in the day and boy is she pretty.

The motor had a major overhaul. top to bottom. done by Dave Burnhan in New York when it had 72K miles on it. now has 89K. The transmission was rebuilt Feb. 2015 so it's fresh. nbsp;all of the suspension spheres were rebuilt in 2009. nbsp;it had one repaint in its original color in 2006. new Pirelli tires. new water pump and starter in 2013 and recent new stainless exhaust. a/c unit rebuilt and is new.  The under side of the car and trunk are very clean (no rust at all). parked for a week and not a drop of anything under the car. I have three binders full of receipts and information about this car. Very informative and interesting. I see Dave Burnhan on many receipts and SM World in California on many parts. so the previous owner took care of this car and used the best people and parts available.  He even filed everything nicely in plastic sleeves in these binders.  

The only few negative things that I have noticed are. the pass seat was recovered with real leather. nbsp;but the color is a bit off (maybe just age of the original). the drivers power window is a bit slow but does work. no antenna or radio. driver's seat is original and has a few tears but it's a nice leather interior overall. I have a real sheep skin seat cover for the drivers seat. Took it off for pics. That's about it. Runs and drives great and all systems function as they should. Get in and go.

Here is a chance to own something different. I've done some homework and there is quite a following for these and the prices are all over the place. so I'm going to list it with a very low reserve and see what it does. I had 86 people watching over night a week ago. hopefully I can answer your questions this time. Thank You

I am attaching a link to a video so you can hear it running and get a good feel for it.
