This 1961 Citroen ID19 is a largely original car with an impressively low 56k original miles and what the seller describes as a great patina. A Southwestern car, the ad further claims that it remains free of rust with well maintained mechanics–check out the ad for links to several videos showing the operation of its various systems including oleopneumatics. Find it here on eBay in Tulsa, Oklahoma for $19,888 OBO.

Paint remains factory applied and as such shows some fading and other age-related issues, but overall is very nicely preserved for a 54 year-old car. We normally prefer the post-facelift swiveling headlight ID/DS, but these earlier cars are still incredible looking machines, and this one’s color scheme is both somewhat unusual and quite attractive.

The interior features recovered seats but everything else sounds to be factory. The big backseat area of an ID/DS is a great place to spend time thanks to the car’s trademark “magic carpet” ride quality and near-limo like leg room. Still, we’d prefer to sit behind the big white monospoke wheel.

Cabin detailing is superb, from the wonderfully complex cast door release mechanisms to these dash controls. Note the cool chevron theme and small red starter button.

The engine bay looks pretty tidy and recent work included changed engine and transmission fluids, performance of a valve adjustment, suspension and axle lube jobs, new coolant, brake and suspension fluids, carb service, fresh spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, right front wheel bearing and a four wheel alignment.

Notably, sale includes what the seller calls thousands of dollars of parts such as rebuilt rear suspension cylinders, a distributor, carb, electronic ignition system, dash blanking plate, valve cover, various trim pieces and more. We’d drive the heck out of this one, and probably double its mileage in under ten years.
