rare enough. In that condition that car isnt going to go for a whole lot more money than that, especially as an ID vs a DS (ID was low end). Great cars though. I can buy one running for 5-7k all day long.

Pretty damn rare yeah. It'd be worth finding out if it's an ID or a DS though. The DS is the one with all the space-age tech that these cars are famous for. Hydraulic suspension and whatnot. The ID was the cheaper version with conventional suspension. Probably a hell of a lot easier to fix, but less valuable.

Rare? Not really, depending on where you are they're quite common really. I see them driving around all the time during summer. There are literally many hundreds for sale right now. Especially in Europe. This site alone has almost 300, this one (France-only) over 150.
The one you linked to is a nice project though.

Both the DS and ID have the hydropneumatic suspension. The ID is more basic though, less powerful engine, no power steering, stuff like that.

Oh right. I thought it had conventional springs and shocks. I suppose there goes my idea about it being simpler to maintain then.
Saying that, I don't actually know anything reliability-wise about the Citroen Hydropneumatic suspension. It seems like its biggest problem would be mechanic unfamiliarity.

I was more talking about the Safari aspect. I've seen them around before, there's two of them just around town, but I've never seen a wagon.
