here's one that just popped up near me

That's the later model that I want.  Shame that the money they put into it is stuff I'd want to redo.  I might ask some questions and then see how long it sits.

Just saw two of them today, but am pretty sure neither was for sale.

In reply to eastsideTim :

Well besides the tease, wtf, were they together or just randomly driving around?

In reply to Stampie :

Saw them both at a diner in Kingman, AZ.  Guessing that neither one runs.

In reply to eastsideTim :

I think my perfect Citicar would be those plexi windows and not running.  Honestly from what I've seen the electronics are simple and I'd want to replace all the original stuff anyway.

I like that red one just wish they were later windows.

There's one for sale in Arvada, CO on FB marketplace. Side curtains, green, asking $5k.

Thanks.  I'm kinda working on something in NC that's not Citicar but maybe cooler?  Maybe not?

That looks like a great deal, but........frickin Oregon! 

In reply to Trent :

That's cool but yeah Oregon. Would be an epic fly and drive ...

In reply to Stampie :

I'd love to see a cross country drive of a citicar

Guessing you're on the obscure cars group, but in case you aren't:  https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/857378682780785/

In reply to eastsideTim :

I've been ignoring that one as hard as I can for a day or so.  I don't need it . .   But I want it 

In reply to eastsideTim :

I believe I am on my semi anonymous profile. I only look at Facebook when I do marketplace and even  then try to avoid temptation from the groups.  That one is closer and cheaper. I might message them. 

In reply to nocones :

I'll defer to you. 

My mom broke down in one taking it from her dealer to get road tested by Motorweek when they were new.

Conveniently south of the city, so you can avoid the I-70/I-55/I-44/I-64 cluster that is downtown St Louis.

Not a Citi Car

but I thought of ya

In reply to 03Panther :

While funky is that one of those Chinese cars you can order on alibaba?

Would not surprise me. No clue, in all honesty. 

Not a Citicar but these things (Kewet Buddy) aren't terribly uncommon in Norway. They look as goofy as a Citicar!
