Equipment
Michelin XAS tires, wheel covers, dual mirrors, boot cover, Autovox radio, column shift automatic, fuel injection.
Condition
The paint is bright, but there are blisters on the hood, touch ups behind the door edges, and orange peel on the trunk. The seats are lightly wrinkled but presentable, and some of the switchgear is lightly worn. Very clean underneath. The Chapron-bodied DS is delightfully funky in any condition, and this one is reasonably well restored, but it has a few too many flaws to be a stunner.
Market commentary
Back in the early 90's this decapotable was offered twice at auction before its restoration. At the Charleston auction in Toronto in August 1991 it was bid to $34,400 and at the Kruse Miami auction in January 1993 it was bid to $32,000, neither time changing hands. It's had a comprehensive restoration since then and brought a strong price here considering the restoration's age and noted flaws.
