Goddess going astray - 1964 Citroen DS with LS1 Crate V8!

Recently updated on February 23, 2022 at 11:42 am

It was probably the automobile that was furthest ahead of its time. The goddess called DS from Citroën. Presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1954, it revolutionized the automotive world. Her streamlined design as well as the hydropneumatic suspension with automatic leveling and Headlights, were milestones for the time. By the end of production in 1975, a little more than 1,4 million “goddesses” rolled off the assembly line, making the revolutionary automobile a complete success for the French brand. It's hard to believe, but there is even one of this typically French automobile, which has absolutely nothing to do with sportiness Restomod version with a fat one GM V8that we would like to introduce to you today in more detail. The vehicle stands by Kumbera Motors for the princely sum of 115.000 US Dollars is for sale.

French eye-catcher with style.

The goddess got an easy one Stance tuning, and rolls up chrome wheels in five-spoke design, which means that its eye-catching exterior already attracts all the looks of car fans. The Citroën also has one Bremsanlage from Wilwood with perforated brake discs. The light blue paint also makes for curious looks, because you can see something like that on one DS not every day. The classic also has a adjustable independent suspension front and rear, which should ensure a sportier driving behavior. From the outside, the goddess is already an eye-catcher, but now we come to the interior, in which hardly one stone has remained on the other.

Custom interiors combine sport with comfort.

The interior became complete modified, and even houses Struts in the roofwhich to a Roll cage recall, without that the back seat must be made unusable for this. A modern one car Radio was in headliner installed, and elegant leather seats ensure typical French comfort.

The centerpiece is an LS1-V8 with around 400 hp.

The drive source was a LS1-V8 transplanted by General Motors into the Citroën, which is about 400 PS generated. The engine, for example, has more power than the Corvette C8's V5 engine only brought to 344 hp. Unfortunately, we don't know what times the French PS monster was on the quarter mile can reach. But we suspect that the Sleeper can annoy many a perplexed sports car driver.

Our conclusion on this probably unique Citroen DS:

As is well known, there are the craziest Restomod creations, and it is hardly surprising that a tuner focuses on the great idea came one LS1 crate engine to transplant into an old Citroën DS. Since the heart transplant, the vehicle has only moved 1.127 kilometers, which also justifies the initially astronomical price of 115.000 dollars. I have to hold on to the amount given the enormous cost of the renovation, which amounted to around 300.000 US dollars. So much more money went into the car than the sale is supposed to bring.
