Spotted this in the Sun Valley Pick Ur Part. Notice anything different about this one.



It gets better!



Yeah, check that nice red interior!

Posted by: Mike D. Dec 15 2009, 01:05 AM

But OH Wait! The engine, be it crunched, is where?



UP HERE, IN THE FRONT



Anybody Know what it is yet?

Posted by: dlo914 Dec 15 2009, 02:55 AM

I know it's a Toyota Celica, but i'm not sure which generation.
The steering wheel and auto shifter were what gave it away:

wow...what a weird and costly transformation. But the exterior looks to be done quite well.

The sheetmetal's not galvanized? HA! The Cap'n

Posted by: Krieger914 Dec 15 2009, 09:57 AM

Wow, must have cost a bunch of money or time.

Posted by: ahdoman Dec 15 2009, 10:06 AM

So that's what happens when you put the engine in the front of a 911! Can you imagine what the weight ratio would have been on that configuration?

911 theft recovery + rolled Celica = Toyoche Carelica.

Posted by: Ferg Dec 15 2009, 10:07 AM

I knew I had seen that car before!!!

Makes you wonder if whoever built that thing had sprung for real brakes, if it would have been able to miss what it hit

Posted by: Mike D. Dec 15 2009, 10:46 AM

YEP, Celica GT. And it hit something HARD. It looks odd in the before crash pic above. Some of the welds, that I could see, were done very well. But yeah, why?!?

The yard is loaded up with cash for clunker cars. So if your looking for FI to modify, now is the time.

Posted by: SECHSER Dec 15 2009, 02:20 PM

wow.. that car is so bad that it's good..

Posted by: ClayPerrine Dec 15 2009, 02:50 PM

Is it a Toyota Carrera, or a Porsche Corolla????

Posted by: zymurgist Dec 15 2009, 02:51 PM

Is that a Porsch, or a Toyoat?

Posted by: SirAndy Dec 15 2009, 02:58 PM

Silly, it's a "Porolla Toyerra" ...

Posted by: zymurgist Dec 15 2009, 03:09 PM

That would be a great name for a pole dancer!

Do i win anything for guessing correctly?

Posted by: flipb Dec 15 2009, 03:32 PM

Uh, you get to post the next butt-ugly fake Porsche that's been totaled and is now sitting in a junkyard?

like the Guess that car thread?

I like that Andy has a collection of butt ugly Porsches ready to go.

Posted by: Mark Henry Dec 15 2009, 04:42 PM

Back in the very early '80 when I was young, dumb and poor, I thought this would be super cool.
Now I know why you're poor when you're young and dumb.

Posted by: ahdoman Dec 15 2009, 05:00 PM

Anybody got a pic of the 911 from "Bachelor Party" with Tom Hanks? Andy needs to add that one to his BUPP (Butt Ugly Porsche Picture) collection.

Seriously?? I think I've been struck blind.

No, I WISH I'd been struck blind. I actually can still see those damn things.

Wow, if I ever thought the 914 was less than beautiful, all I had to do was see your last two posts, Andy. Whew, that last one ... with the lights ... it reminds me of the one time I looked at a website like "something awful" dot com and had nightmares for weeks.

I'm surprised no one's posted a Panamera! :X

Posted by: charliew Dec 16 2009, 01:08 PM

That toyota looks like it has or had a turbo. I think I see a turbo flange. Man what a way to spend money.

A mazing.. I didn't think it possible to rice out a 914....

Posted by: dlo914 Dec 16 2009, 01:52 PM

That's just the header collector that then connects to the down-pipe.

Posted by: flipb Dec 16 2009, 01:56 PM

Is that really built on a 914? Kind of like the Neo914 but without taste... Still, I'm morbidly curious to see pictures of the rest of it...

I'm not crazy about the wing, but other than that I think that car looks pretty sweet.

Posted by: scotty b Dec 16 2009, 06:34 PM

Dammit you guys are going to make me take a pic of the abortion sitting at my friends shop. It's a " DP 935 " straight out of 80's Miami. Looks like this but in white. I'll try to remember to take a couple pics tomorrow.

We need a site like this to collect these rare examples of the manifistations of someone's dreams, or maybe nightmares. Be careful of what you dream for. I wish I could find that 914 on Craigslist that was made to carry a float, it would fit right in.

Posted by: SirAndy Dec 17 2009, 01:32 AM

Someone here actually bought it and was going to restore it ...

You asked for this.......

Posted by: URY914 Dec 17 2009, 07:42 AM

Posted by: flipb Dec 17 2009, 09:34 AM

I agree. I really like the side view - flares, roof, doors, rockers. Not crazy about the back end or front end (as far as I can tell of it)

Posted by: zymurgist Dec 17 2009, 09:40 AM

Looks well executed too. I like the back end, although I'm not sure if the taillights came from a Miata or a Lexus or something else.

Posted by: flipb Dec 17 2009, 09:42 AM

Supra. I think.

Posted by: al weidman Dec 22 2009, 12:51 AM

Here's another. Al.
