Equipment
2175/106hp, column shift 4-speed, wheel covers, Hankook tires, Jaeger dash clock.
Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
Dull paint that is badly blistering on the hood, and shows masking issues on the weather stripping. Dull brightwork as well. Surface rust on the wheels and underbody. Several large dents on both right doors. Pitted door handles. Scratched bumpers and cracks in the rubber bumperettes. Faded rear deck. Dull marker lenses. No real history represented other than that it’s a European market car. There is probably a mountain of specialist shop bills and weird, hard to find parts in this car’s future.
Market commentary
The needs of this DS21 may have been too much for the seller, because the same car sold here just two years ago. It brought $21,450 then, and is in essentially the same condition today. This was not a successful venture into classic French car ownership. Let's hope the car is better off under its new caretaker.
