Kind of reminds me of seeing a McLaren F1, an F40 and a F50 with New York plates parked side by side covered in bugs and road grime in the grass/dirt parking lot at the Gooding Pebble Beach auction a few years back.
That must have been one hell of a road-trip!
Buncha shots from the Rennsport Reunion...

It is. They just finished the restoration on both cars and have a third one coming. The owner was a really relaxed guy. Had a quick chat with him.
The older car with the double headlights is not an original though. It‘s a recreation, based on a DS chassis. According to the owner Chevron only build 8 cars of that particular body style. The prices for original DS Cabriolets are deep in the 6 figures and the early ones are more or less unobtainable now. He wouldn’t comment on the exact asking price for his recreation but he assured me that it‘s within the 6 figure range as well.
Prices for both factory DS and Chapron DS cabriolets have skyrocketed over the last 10 years. I´d agree with the asking prices for a resto-mod such as this one as well, easily within the 6 figure range. I recall when you could buy a nice DS 23 Pallas for less than 8.000 €. Now you won´t find a decent unit below 30.000 €.
A good friend of mine owns the 1972 DS 23 Pallas below. Every time we´ve taken it for a ride I am amazed by the level of comfort of the Hydropneumatic suspensions and the smoothness of the engine. What a car!
My new Alpine a110 premiere edition, getting its first wash(in the rain) must be love ❤️
Looks great - that's a fabulous blue. The pugnacious style is a very clever echo of the original and it's made for a very characterful car. Envy!
