The spirit of the car was deleted with this engine/chassis conversion. I used to own one of these when they were still a common sight on the roads. The spacey looks were just an external detail, it was mostly that magic carpet ride and the smooth quiet engine that made those cars so special to drive. This one is just a hollow shell, like some stuffed dead animal from a taxidermist. Sorry, excellent work but kinda creepy frankensteinmobile you put together..
wie kann man ein so schönes Auto nur so verhunzen... traurig anzusehen! Und wenn ihr fragt warum: die Felgen und die Sitze gehen ja nun mal gar nicht, die Farbe ist zweifelhaft - das dazu.
Cette extraordinaire voiture se suffit à elle-même , elle est tellement originale et intemporelle que ce genre de transformation est totalement superflu. En tout cas je ne ferais jamais ça à la mienne ..
The real question. Has anyone ever put a flat 6 in a DS as was orginally envisages?? Chev engine, rear wheel drive and air suspension. How to ruin the personality of a classic..
Yes it has become a sort of hotrod. I have often wondered about putting say a Citroen/ Pugeot engine in say a CX or even a D keeping it orginal, I saw a South African conversion of a LT 15 with a V8 in it
@@merledoughty5787 I believe there are a few Big 6 Tractions with a small Ford V8 ... Maybe a DS with a flat 6 water cooled Subaru engine - wow - near to DS Nirvana...
I would take the Citroen over the red Testarossa in the vid hands down, any day, and any time. The Citroen exudes sexiness, cool, and exclusivity.....the Ferrari just looks like a cheap hooker. Beautiful car and great job at restoration. It was done tastefully & the restoration did not overwhelm the original design. Perfect work all around. A +++++.
Igual da que la vistas de smoking, la vistas con un saco de patatas. La Diosa es lo más hermoso que parido en automoción. Sólo queda rendirle pleitesia y admiración. !! VIVA POR SIEMPRE LA DIOSA!!
A los jóvenes seguro que les gusta ésa customización, yo cómo purísta me parece el coche de los cazafantásmas. Auténtico sólo queda la carrocería lo clásico y más el DS ID hay que admirárlo en su estado puro.....
Très beau travail de restauration. Il faut féliciter l'atelier qui a réalisé les travaux, mais c'est quand même kitsch. L'habitacle, les jantes, le moteur n'ont rien à voir avec l'original. Mais elle est intéressante et élégante.
Mais retourne dans ta grotte le puriste, elle est juste magnifique. Pourquoi tu as cliqué sur cette vidéo si tu aimes pas la customisation? Tu es juste un emmerdeur
A Chappie here in Springs South Africa rebuilt a DS. Removed the Citroen engine, Fitted it with a Ford V6 engine with a custom built adapter plate. The engine as far as I was informed had to run reverse cycle and was adapted to that due to the gearbox. The Suspension was removed and replaced with a conventional suspension. Took him a few years,but eventually the vehicle was mobile. Sadly we were not able share the photos here as the phone i took the pics with was damaged. I think the car is still running around in Springs
Bruce we have family out that way Springs must ask one of them if the car is about, my thinking has been to shoehorn a Honda or similar 4 or V6 engine into the CX, I read about a Lt 15 with a V8 in it again I thnk they went rear wheel drive. Fitting another engine into the CX other than the original power plant may take some work. I also saw a Lt 15 with a renault 2.2 engine fitted it went very well indeed I would have gone for the renault 25 injected engine same engine as the CX 22
And the Chevrons on the trunk are upside down.... always a clue of a spray job done by someone who new nothing about Citroens. Externally striking with no soul.
La version originale est tellement hallucinante qu'une version custom est pour ainsi dire superflue. Ceci dit, malgré des maladresses esthétiques la ligne générale de la voiture reste et elle est sublime.

Terrible! Real terrible! The worst I have ever seen! And even the front disc brakes have been moved from their inboard original position to the wheels! Such crap!! Ready for the trash-bin!

Meravigliosa! Il monofaro è qualcosa di stupendo. Bellissima customizzazzione e ruote stupende! Si, ma perché non mettere mai quanto costa, così uno si può fare un 'idea?
Molto bella all'esterno , proprio perche' rimane fedele all'originale... Alcuni cambiamenti ma senza stravolgerla, cosa che invece non si puo' dire per gli interni che hanno sdradicato totalmente l'originalita' della vettura...
I have the same thought but I think the choice of the wheels would have been perfect a full disc style as the original rims and to match perfectly with the aerodynamic body. The interior is well shaped but the the seats.
Plus de coffre ni boite a gants ni espaces de rangement cette voiture n'est pas pratique du tout , mais mais mais mais ......... Bravo pour le desing .

The wheels and the rear lights don't fit at all. The same goes for the interior with the seats.
I Like how the dash was redone and kept the wheel. what's under the hood??
V8

the interior does not belong in a DS-19. It and the wheels look totally out of place.
Great colour! Not too sure about that interior tho. Bin the wheels for steels with full chrome hub caps please 🙏

Ruined the car.
Yup, they ruined the car, change the hydropneumatic into air suspension and engine with chevy LS
How do you know?
Maybe the car had been ruined already. Maybe this guy just tried to fix it
@@superatlit9567 there was a blog on the net during the project execution. the car was a runner. good job but it is not my taste
Good
beautyfull , belle caisse👍👍💪
Classic!

I'm sorry but it's not a citroen ds and it never will be you've ruined it, it may vaguely look like one, but a citroen ds? it is not.
Muy bonito color

What the hell is this fucking shit? Citroën DS is an all-time great European classic car to be desecrated in this disgusting way.
