    Owner Comments:
    1972 Citroen SM Coupe - Amazing Original, Survivor, Only 34K Original Miles, Very Rare, Low Production car, SM 2.7L Maserati V6 w/ 3 Weber Carbs, Rare Automatique Transmission (1 of only 675), Mostly All Original Paint , Mint, All Original Leather Interior , Factory Air Conditioning, Mechanically Excellent, Previous Long Term Ownership, Fresh Out of an Estate. A Truly Great Find & Ultra Rare Collectors Item, Motor Trends Car of the Year in 1972, Runs & Drives Excellent! - Here is an absolutely amazing find! It is an ultra rare 1972 Citroen SM coupe that is a true survivor. This car is pretty much all original with only 34K original miles that show's wonderfully. It has mostly all original paint with stunning chrome and trim. The completely all- original interior is in absolutely mint condition. In our opinion, this is one of the nicest, original Citroen SM's in the world. Just in general, it is amazing for a vehicle of this age to be preserved this well. We purchased the car from the estate of its long-term owner. Who was a collector of rare, low mileage collectable cars. He had all his cars in excellent storage and even loaned them out a museum for a bit. We had the car just serviced by a local Ferrari mechanic. He checked the car out from front to back, did a few things to it and gave it the big green light. It is an amazing running and driving car that is a true pleasure to drive. We rated this car as a number 2 due its amazing, original condition. A car is only original once and can never be again once it's restored. There is not much, at all that can be picked apart on it. This is the condition we all dream of finding an original vintage car. It even has its original selling dealers tag on the back along with owner's manuals and other books. - The Citroen SM Coupe was a luxury, sports car built from 1970 to 1975 under the ownership of Maserati. They built a total of 12,920 cars for worldwide production and of that, only 2,400 cars went to North America in 1972 and 1973. It is one of the rarest as it one of only 675 produced with the SM 2.7 Automatique. This was surprisingly Motor Trends, car of the year in 1972. This is truly one of the finest, original examples you will ever find of a Citreon SM coupe! The SM's design also placed eleventh on Automobile Magazine's 2005 “100 Coolest Cars” listing. I have seen these bring over $100K on multiple occasions, just this past year. This is a very strong example of Citroen's masterpiece!
