On this web page you can see both Djets in the paddock at Le Mans Classic (other Djets as well). You clearly see the long tail on the Aerodjet. It´s also possible to see the twin cam engine I was talking about earlier.

my neighbor has a 1968 Matra djet 6 that I am thinking about buying. My question is what is it worth? If does need a complete restoration, it has some broken/missing parts (taillight lens, windshield wiper, interior pieces, etc, etc) Any websites I can check out?
Found this one
http://webmycar.com/zonecar/webacar....ATRA%24Jet%205
a good one for 22000 Euro, a restoration project for 5000.
Try French websites for parts, the Matra Club might give some price indications.
Availability in the USA could however be problematic.

Hi,
It´s not easy to give a correct price level for a Djet. It's a very unusual car, with a total production of less than 1700 cars (222 of them are Djet 6). Very often they have been modified, so non originality may also affect the price level.
However, prices have increased quite a lot in recent years. Several cars have been on sale for prices from 20000 to 30000 euros, but that is of course for cars in very good condition. I think a reasonably sound car can be bought for around 10-15000 euros.
I would recommend you to check the website of Club Djet: Bienvenue
It´s almost necessary to be a member of a club for Djets. Joining a club makes it a somewhat easier to find parts. It´s still not easy but some parts are re-manufactured by the clubs.
Good luck!
