I FOUND THIS CAR LAST SUMME, WAS TOLD ABOUT IT BY A FRIEND WHO KNEW I LIKED OLD CARS, HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS BUT SAID IT WAS REALLY WEIRD AND WAS ONE OF THOSE KIND OF CARS I WOULD REALLY LIKE, I MADE A PLAN WITH HIM TO GO LOOK AT THE CAR,UPON ARRIVING AT THE HOME I COULDENT BELIVE MY EYE, I YELLED TO HIM ITS A CITROEN ! CITROEN HE SAYS WHAT THE HELL IS A CITROEN I THOUGHT IT WAS A NASH,I HAD TO LAUGH AT THAT ONE .ANYWAY I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE LOOK OF OLD CITROENS, AND PERSONALLY HAVE NEVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO EVEN SEE ONE UP CLOSE .THE MAN I BOUGHT IT FROM SAID THEIR FAMILY OWNED TWO OF THEM AND DROVE THEM HERE FROM CALIFORNIA IN 198, AT THAT TIME THEY WERE RE REGISTERED IN MISSOURI, WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR HERE THIS CAR HAD A STARTER PROBLEM, AT THAT TIME THEY REMOVED THE STARTER AND WERE UNABLE TO FIND A REPLACEMENT OR REBUIL, THIS BEING RURAL MO. BACK IN THE 80s BEFORE INTERNET WAS AVALIABLE, HILLBILLY LOCALS HAD NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT, SO THE CAR SAT IN THE GARAGE WITH THE STARTER OUT,AS TIME PASSED THE STARTER WAS LOST AT A LOCAL SHOP THAT COULD NEVER FIND THE PARTS TO REPAIR IT.
THE CAR HAS SAT IN THEIR GARAGE SINCE I987,COVERED AND WAS NEVER OFFERED FOR SALE, I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CAR AFTER REALIZING THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE CAR, ITS ALL THERE, IT IS A REAL TREASUR, A RESTORERS DREA, A ROCK SOLID LOW MILE EXAMPLE, WHERE WAS I GOING TO FIND ANOTHER ONE THIS GOOD, I HAD TO HAVE IT, AFTER HOURS AND HOURS OF VISITING I FINALLY GOT THE CAR BOUGHT, THE FAMILY DID NOT WANT TO PART WITH THIS CAR IT WAS NOT FOR SALE SO ACTUALLY GETTING THIS CAR BOUGHT WAS NO EZ TASK, IF I WOULDENT OF HAD A STACK OF C NOTES IT WOULDENT OF HAPPENED,TEASING THEM WITH CASH THE OLD MAN FINALLY BROKE DOWN AND SHOOK MY HAND, NEXT DAY I SHOWED UP WITH A TRAILER AND LOADED IT, TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO MY MECHANIC FRIEND WHO CLAIMES HE CAN FIX ANYTHING AND DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT HIS FACILITY, AFTER HIS EVALUATION HE INFORMED ME THE MOTOR WAS STUCK FROM SITTING SO LON, HE DETERMINED IT IS THE 3RD CYL BACK,AND ADVISED ME WE NEED TO SOAK CYLS WITH A PENETRATING OIL AND IT MIGHT BREAK LOOSE, IT HAD BEEN SITTING IN HIS SHOP SINCE LAST SEPT WITH MYSTRY OIL WITH NO REAL RESULTS,HE SAYS ITS BARLEY MOVING AND WILL TAKE MORE TIME AND NEEDS THE SPACE IN HIS SHOP, THE CAR WAS ROLLED OUTSIDE JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS, IT IS NOT ON HIS PRIORITY LIST AND I COULDENT STAND TO SEE THE CAR SIT OUTSIDE THE BUILDING WITH SNOW IN THE FORECAST SO I WENT AND PICKED THE CAR UP FROM HIS PLACE LAST WEEK, AND BROUGHT IT HOME, ITS NOW SITTING OUTSIDE I DONT HAVE GARAGE SPACE FOR IT, IM BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLAC, ITS MORE THAN I AM CAPABLE OF FIXING, AND AM LOOSING INTREST.
