Default LS1 in a Citroen DS

Here is an unusual LS conversion (photographed at the SEMA show):





Quality of the conversion was a 10. Interior was well done also.

Car had hydraulics to raise and lower it.

We need to learn to communicate better amongst ourselves. Would have been great to meet other LS1Tech folks that attended SEMA!

They took an underpowered front wheel drive car and put in the LS1 and a rear-drive setup. Can you imagine the top speed with that slick shape??

I believe that body was made public around 1960.
