"Will it Run?" Special: Ultimate Daily Challenge: Cheap Citroen SM! Part 1: Prologue

Hi! We're gonna take on the Ultimate Daily Driver Challenge this time...the rare, beautiful, exotic, and complex Citroen SM coupe! A car with a reputation for trouble even when new... If there is one car that scares off the faint-of-heart, this is it... So I had to have one, of course!
In Part 1 here, we'll just have a look at how we picked up the car from Agent 747s yard where it had been stored outside because the previous owner (who was a real gentleman and Citroen enthusiast, just a little over his head on this one) couldn't make the restoration happen... I had seen the car several years ago and was determined to buy it from the first time I laid eyes on it...
I put the car away after I bought it and Agent 533 helped get it tuned up enough to run the following summer, as seen here. I put the car away again until this fall when the Ambassador was done and I decided that it needed to be made good enough to drive. It is not going to be a full restoration or a showpi
