1972 Citroen SM

This 1972 Citroën SM is a US-market example finished in gold over brown leather and is powered by a 2.7-liter Maserati V6 driving the front wheels through a three-speed automatic transaxle. Additional equipment includes hydropneumatic suspension, air conditioning, power windows, and an AM/FM radio. The car reportedly spent time in California and Arizona and is said to have undergone a refurbishment in the last four years that included repainting the exterior, replacing the suspension spheres and the timing chains, and fitting a new dashboard, carpets, and exhaust headers. This SM is now offered in Canada by the selling dealer with Ontario registration. The car is said to have been repainted in metallic gold within the last four years. US-spec sealed-beam headlights under Cibie glass covers are fitted up front. The car rides on a 110” wheelbase and features 15″ steel wheels wearing polished covers and 215/65 Michelin Defender tires. The hydropneumatic suspension system is said to have been refreshed with new suspension spheres under previous ownership. The cabin features seats trimmed in brown leather along with matching door panels, tan carpets, and a black dashboard. The carpets and dashboard were reportedly replaced under previous ownership. Amenities include air conditioning and power windows along with a factory Citroën-branded push-button AM/FM radio. A single-spoke steering wheel frames Jaeger instrumentation that includes a 160mph speedometer and a tachometer. The five-digit odometer shows 71k miles. The 2.7-liter V6 was sourced from Maserati, a subsidiary of Citroën at the time, and features dual overhead camshafts on each cylinder bank as well as three Weber carburetors. Output was rated at 177 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque when new. The selling dealer states that the upper and lower timing chains were replaced and exhaust headers sourced from SM World of Santa Clarita, California, were fitted under previous ownership. The powerplant is mounted in a front-mid position behind a three-speed automatic transaxle, which directs power to the front wheels. Additional underbody photos are provided below.
