1973 DS

Unread post by vehiclesrevived »

Hi All,
Hope you can help. I have a customers 1973 DS21Automatic which is in very bad condition due to rust - the rot is everywhere..... So have gone over the car and discussions with my customer, it's not a project they want to do. So they would like to sell it...
So I'm no expert on these cars or there value and I'm hoping you guys can help with views on it's value or suggest best ways to sell it - other than just put on ebay....

The car starts ok (ish), suspension comes up and it drives around the yard ok, the brakes stop it and the power steering works - with no massive puddles of oil underneath - So I think mechanically it's ok (from a very simple view) but yeah all the panels have holes and the underlying structure is bad too...

Anybody help with comments on value or other things to check to value it. I can obviously let it go on ebay or scrap but I'm guessing the mechanicals might be worth more to somebody- any pointers on where to ask??? Or it's a real project for someone.....

And I apologise in advance if there is a guide or something on here - I did take a look around but didn't see anything....

Many Thanks
Gav

Hi Gav

There's not a heap of D series stuff on here, but someone may be interested. Otherwise it would be best to try the Citroen Car Club, or there must be a face book group. It sounds like it might be pretty far gone, and a spares car only, but I'm sure it could find a home. Can you post a few pics to see how bad it is?
