I went to see an old guy an hour's drive away 2 years ago who was selling his house an moving into assisted living housing. He was selling a 1960 Citroen DS19 (and I already had a rusty one at that point) . He had a garage/barn that held this DS19 and 3 or 4 Citroen SMs. Well, you could not even see the SMs - they were completely covered above the rooflines with junk ( big stuff like tractor parts, heads , engine blocks). He must have carved the DS out of the same mess for viewing, but I still could only open one door and stick my head in. I couldn't walk around it or look under it. I had the impression that the car I was looking at was very sound and he only wanted $500-$1000 for it, but I had a foreboding feeling that if I bought that car , I would turn into the packrat he was.
