1965 Citroen 2CV

 1965 CITROEN 2CV. THIS CAR IS OUTSTANDING IN EVERY WAY.

THIS CAR STARTS UP EVERYTIME ON THE FIRST OR SECOND TRY. ONCE WARMED UP IT RUNS SMOOTH AND STRONG. THE MOTOR WAS REBUILT AT THE TIME IT WAS RESTORED. THERE IS ALSO NO SMOKE OUT THE TAILPIPE. I DO NOT SEE ANY FLUIDS LEAKING BUT IT IS A FRENCH CAR AND IT IS STILL OLD SO I AM SURE THERE IS SOME SEEPING SOMEWHERE. HAD TO HAVE SOMEONE SHOW ME HOW TO DRIVE IT AND ONCE I GOT THE HANG OF IT I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED AT HOW WELL IT DRIVES. THE CLUTCH WAS REDONE NOT LONG AGO SO ITS GOOD AND IT SHIFTS PERFECT. THERE ARE NO GRINDING NOISES OR ANY OTHER FUNNY NOISES. IT PULLS STRONG. AS YOU CAN SEE NOT ONLY WAS THE ENGINE REBUILT, THEY ALSO CHANGED ALL THE CLAMPS AND HOSES AS WELL. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT BUT IT FEELS AS THOUGH IT WAS. THE BRAKES ARE HIGH AND IT STOPS GREAT. PLEASE DON'T MISUNDERSTAND IT DOES NOT STOP ON A DIME. AT THE TIME OF RESTORATION, THE EXHAUST WAS REDONE AS WELL. ALL THE WIRING WAS REDONE AND STILL LOOKS NEW.

THE TIRES AND WHEELS ARE EXCELLENT. THE TIRES DO NOT HAVE ANY CRACKING OR DRY ROT, THEY APPEAR TO BE PRETTY NEW. THE WHEELS WERE REDONE AND LOOK BRAND NEW.

THE PAINT WAS REDONE TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD. I AM SURE ITS WAY BETTER THAN WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. THERE IS ALOT OF CLEAR COAT ON THE CAR SO IT SHOWS A LOT OF DEPTH. THERE IS NOT ONE SPOT OF OVERSPRAY ON THE ENTIRE CAR, WHICH IS FURTHER PROOF IT WAS COMPLETELY DISMANTLED WHEN IT WAS REDONE. THERE IS A SMALL CREASE ON THE DRIVERS REAR WHEEL WELL APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES LONG BY ONE QUARTER INCH WIDE. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THAT THE BODY IS AS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW AND THERE ARE NO RIPPLES DOWN THE SIDE.  I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE A PICTURE OF THIS UPON REQUEST. THERE ARE ALSO MAYBE 3 LITTLE SCRATCHES ON THE CAR AS IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN SINCE RESTORATION. I BELIEVE ALL THE GLASS IS ORIGINAL AND THERE IS NOT ANY DISCOLORATION OR CRACKS.

I DO NOT KNOW IF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS REDONE FOR A FACT, BUT IT'S DEFINITY LIKE NEW.
