This 1969 Citroen 2CV6 represents everything we love about classic motoring. It's a cleverly engineered car, and since most of them stayed in Europe, it's quite distinct on American roads. This example has been well maintained and attracts attention everywhere it roams.
The Citroen "Deux-Cheveaux" is as famous in France for getting its people on wheels as the VW Beetle is in Germany. It is an ingenious package wrapped in one of the most unique shapes in motoring. But while the attention it generates is worth owning one, this example also proves it has the right quality to be for the collectors as well. In fact, the details on this one are quite well-done. The crisp grille, clear bug eye headlights, correct Citroen mud flaps, three-bolt wheels all make this a classic with true charm.
HIGHLIGHTS:
602cc engine
4-speed manual transmission
Front disc brakes
Sliding canvas roof
Classic design
Runs and drives great
Correct mud flaps
Original 3-lug wheels
The interior is all about being simple but charismatic. The front windows flip up for a distinct look, and the canvas roof rolls back all the way past the rear windows so you can really enjoy a sunny day out on the road. These were built to be simple cars with a rugged design that could even be used out on the farm. However, nothing gets in the way of that unique driving experience. The Citroen's hallmark single-spoke steering wheel gives you a clear view of the simple gauge package, and the bent nail-style gearstick has a fun and distinct action.
Under the hood is the largest motor from the series. The 602cc flat twin is correct for this 2CV6 and it runs great. This classic retains plenty of originality that exudes charm and character. The suspension is an ingenious design that is simple but exceptionally smooth (one of the original parameters was that it rides soft enough to get a farmer's eggs to the market.) No one should ever expect to win a drag race in an original-style 2CV like this, but the control of the four speed and clever touches (like inboard front disc brakes) make these a beloved cruiser by the right people.
This fun, French and fascinating 1969 Citroen 2CV6 will give you and anyone that sees it many smiles per mile. If you have ever wanted a legendary 2CV, this is your opportunity acquire a great one. Call today!
