Crack Pipe to the extreme. My dad has a restomod 1965 Coupe, and has about 18k total in it. For that money, we got...

It terrible, it's awesome, it's terribly awesome!
Shut your hole! This is Murica!
The hood is popped you commenting half-wits.
It's the 2+2 , least desirable of all the XKEs but still an awesome car. I have 2 of them. That one looks to be in pretty poor shape, the post has no info at all either, that's why it's so cheap. In decent condition they usually go for 25-35K
Electronics aren't nearly as bad as people think, it's only the ignition…

Driving at those speeds on a public road is, to me, the same as firing a gun into a crowd of people.
And if your budget doesn't stretch that much you can still get all the suspension fun from a CX - and the GTI Turbo models were really fast, or alternatively a Prestige (like mine) if you want to have a rear tennis court.
My parents owned 2 DS' when I was a kid in the 1960's. They we're really, really comfortable.
Jay, if you change the headlights from US the European spec, you really should do the rears as well. It's just a tiny detail, but just look at these indicator flutes:
I've been looking foward to this video ever I seen his DS and SM in the backround of his other videos. I have got a fetish for big Citroen's and small Citroen's and small Peugeot's and small Renault's, not ALL French cars but most.
I'm getting very bored with the café racer scene now. Oh look clip ons and next to nothing else, so edgy and different.
You made your badass looking black Citroen look more badass! Nicely done.
Wow thats brings back memories. My dad had 2 CX's when I was a kid. My dad letting me raise and lower the suspension, best thing ever!
I have such a car, series 1 though.. I can confirm that it is indeed
My dad's car. Before I reached driving age he sold it to help pay for my parents' dream house. Most recently it sold for $1.2M at auction, nearly 10X what he sold it for. :*(
I rode in it many times, but I was never old enough to drive it.
There's more, but this is what came to mind when I first read the headline.
I saw this very car in person when I stumbled upon a concours on the piazza outside the hotel I was staying at in Turin, Italy my one night in town the summer of 2010. It had fantastic presence. I couldn't stop going back to it to study it some more and take pictures.
