This 1971 Citroen SM is a European-market example that was acquired by the current owner approximately 46 years ago and is said to have remained in storage since 1995. Finished in metallic gold over a brown interior, the car is powered by a 2.7-liter Maserati V6 paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Features include a hydro-pneumatic suspension system, a Continental Edison push-button AM/FM radio, power windows, and 15” steel wheels with polished covers.
The car is finished in metallic gold, and exterior features include a driver’s side-view mirror, rear fender skirts, and European-spec headlights with glass covers.
The 15” steel wheels feature polished covers and are mounted with older Michelin tires that show cracking in the sidewalls. The car is equipped with height-adjustable hydro-pneumatic suspension, and a full-size spare is found in the trunk.
The cabin features seats trimmed in brown leather along with matching door panels, carpets, and a black dashboard. Amenities include power windows along with a Continental Edison push-button AM/FM radio.
A single-spoke steering wheel frames Jaeger instrumentation that includes a 260-km/h speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer. The five-digit odometer shows 63k kilometers (~39k miles).
The 2.7-liter quad-cam Maserati V6 was factory-rated at 177 horsepower with 172 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle.
