The quirky, iconic, and utterly French Citroen DS is possibly one of the best cars ever made. How could one improve on such a great vehicle? Drop an LS1 in it and fully modernize it, of course! Up for sale on eBay is rock legend Alice Cooper’s heavily modified 1964 Citroen ID19, which was a simplified base version of the DS.
At first glance, you can tell that this is no ordinary Citroen DS just by looking at the lowered stance and custom candy paint. Underneath the eye-catching exterior is a modern 400+ horsepower Chevrolet LS1 V8 crate engine and Alden coilovers with fully independent front suspension and a four-link rear suspension.
More performance goodies include an Art Morrison chassis, full custom roll cage, power steering, rear wheel drive, custom Billet Specialties 18-inch wheels, new heat/AC, and more. Virtually every area on this car has been customized, even down to the LS1 engine covers, which have been appropriately airbrushed with the Citroen name.
The interior has also been graced with a full update as well and flows really nicely. With grey leather, billet accents everywhere, exterior-color-matched dash, new gauges, and upgraded audio system, this driving environment does not disappoint. It is actually a really simple interior. A few of our favorite features are the headliner and how it was made to fit with the existence of the roll cage, and the custom one-spoke steering wheel – very nice, subtle touches.
For the reasonable price of $115k, you could be the next owner. Not too bad, considering there was $300k worth of work done to transform the car. The listing states that the winner of this auction will also receive a signed guitar and get to play a round of golf with the man, himself, as well as two tickets to his “Christmas Pudding” show.
While it didn’t sell this time around, with bidding topping out at $83,400, we’re sure we will see it on eBay again. If you are seriously interested in this car, want to go golfing with Alice Cooper, or if you just want to check out a sweet Citroen DS, check out the eBay listing here.
