Could this really be the world's last Citation in decent shape?
Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing.

NO! we have a lady customer that has almost that exact same car but its blue and really nice condition. I think it has 40k some thousand

I had a roommate with an immaculate '85ish one- beige on beige, 33,000 km the last time I saw it 7 years ago- and saw another fairly minty one a few weeks ago locally. So maybe there's three left.

And an X-11, at that! For $850, I'd buy it.

WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT!!!!!!!!!
it's an 82, which isn't the most desirable year, but it's pretty damn good. You guys laugh your asses off at these cars but these were built for one purpose: Race SCCA SS/B class.
1980 models were stripe jobs and were nothing worth saving. 1981 was the no-holds-barred, bare-knuckled racer... Even Car & Driver AND Motor Trend liked the car. In 1981, they would kill a 924 in a drag race and hold their own against the tiny Porsche in the twisties (which for 1981 was saying something)... All for $10k or less. Yeah yeah yeah, fit and finish sucked (of course), but the massage job that John Heinricy's team did on that little 2.8L was evil. I have several articles I clipped from various Car & Driver's/Motor Trends when I was a kid....
In late 1984-1985, the 2.8L went to the fuel injection set up out of the Fiero and Camaro.... but still was saddled with either a TH125 3-speed or the beefier 4-speed manual.
These cars were so special. Man, worst part is I have the money for the car, but how in the hell would i ever get the fucker home?
Where is this thing? Ohio?

I bought a '64 ford pickup a few years back, picked it up in Colorado and drove it home to CA, that trip was a blast...... I still have that truck, we bonded on that trip.
Do it Sam.

So we know the Citation X-11 was even faster than a Taurus without wheels!

It didn't go well when I tried 500 miles in a 23 year old car.
Also it's in my neighborhood, right around the corner from me. I'm surprised I haven't seen it!

Check it out if you get a chance - see if the seller's hiding anything.

A couple years ago, I bought a $500 Grand Marquis and drove it 120 miles back home... With the prior knowledge that the transmission was going out.

and a VW is a work of art?
it was what it was... the first attempt at an FWD compact from a company who, at the time, really knew nothing about FWD compacts.
http://en.wikipedi...Chevrolet_Citation
http://en.wikipedi...wiki/Sport_compact
They are not sport compact cars either, just sports cars with miniature seats in the back. Sport compact cars in the US have always included six-cylinder cars as well as four-cylinder cars, from the V-6 Buick Skyhawk of the 1970s to the Citation X-11 in the 1980s, and the Cavalier Z-24 in the 1990s, just to name a few GM examples. A four-cylinder engine is clearly not a requirement. Of course if a sports car maker made a subcompact or compact model it should still be considered a sport compact. |
In many circles FWD GM circles, the X11 was considered to be the 'grandfather' of the Z24 and Sunbird GT/GT Turbo. Eventually, the Citation was killed to make room for the Beretta much as the Celebrity was killed to make room for the W-body (Lumina, Grand Prix, Regal, Cutlass).

I'm... Kind of impressed by that. It does a very convincing Viper impression.
