Vehicle Description
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!
