A Satanic Goddess

We’ve seen it on rare occasions before – unable to rise, stripped of its famous engineering and comfort so that only the shape of it’s former glory remains. A DS so transformed by American hot rod cultists, that those who who genuinely appreciate a DS want to reach out to an Exorcist.

Yep, Billy-Bob and the boys fired-up their blow torches and went about cutting then welding up an effigy to the Goddess — the result being this heathenish affront to any true Citroën believer.

Possessed with little taste, but obviously talent to build a custom Street Rod, they spent over $300K to have a Corvette drivetrain underlying its body — now devoid of any attributes that gave reverence to the DS. Save for the steering wheel (which they mounted 180 degrees wrong BTW), the interior is no longer a heavenly environment. It has been ritually cast to be yet another cruse-night creation, re-imagined by builders who had no appreciation of the virtues of an original DS.

As this video clearly shows, its soul has been totally eradicated:

Still, as hard as this is to watch, one can’t help but admire the work that went into the project. We only hope this result is a resurrection effort of a D that was languishing in a junk yard somewhere, in a very sad state of decay. Nevertheless, to outlay over $300K on a junkyard find — heck, that kind of money could have made it immaculate again though a proper restoration — and with enough green left over to buy an absolutely perfect and original second DS!
