Donor is easy, but who built it and what was its name? A point is waiting for you

Was this the Citroen Traction Avant Hot Rod HiBoy, built by , I think a M.Cassolet (may be the wrong spelling) in about 1983-4 -ish? Seem to remember it from a hot rod mag many years ago and as far as I recall there wasn't a nice small block V8 under the bonnet, but a pretty normel TA engine,  complete with front wheel drive. Please say I'm right for a change. :-\

Not really a Hi-Boy ( or highboy ), in that the body is not sitting on the frame rails. This car was a unit-body to begin with.
