The bulk of this writer's experience with European car culture has been in eastern France, where draconian laws dictate that classic cars must be original and modification is almost banned. It isn't as bad as Shanghai, where customizing a car is punishable with hard time in a Uyghur prison camp, but compared to the USA, the customizing scene is pretty tame. Italy is more of mystery to me (having only spent time there as a tourist) but it seems that the laws must be based on Texas vehicle code and turning your 2CV in a faux tanker truck/buffet is just another weekend filled with welding fumes and cheap Chianti. Find this
1980 Citroën Dyane Faux Tanker/Buffet offered for 7.200 € ($9,300 at time of printing) in Merano, Italy via subito.it.
Update, I originally called this piece of tanker-art a 2CV per the
sellers suggestion, but Jalopnik Editor-in-Citroën Jason Torchinsky
pointed out that this is a Dyane...and 2CVhoonage said it might have started as the panel van version of the Dyane, called the Arcadyane.
Most homebuilt specials have price tags that reflect sentimental value and time spent, often on something that was created in the image of one man's Robitussin-fueled dream. However, what we have here is stunning, has a great story, and is potentially an unbelievable bargain. Find the one and only Silver Bullet plus car trailer for sale in Decker Hollow, Ontario for $3,500 Canadian ($2,666 US at time of print) via Kijiji. Tip from Bobinott
