914World.com _ 914World Garage _ The car that was

Posted by: jim_hoyland Sep 23 2012, 08:37 PM

The last post regarding this custom 914 was the Ebay ad for the remains of the once great car. When the car was completed the owner brought it to one of Joe Sharp's bar-b-ques. In the following month the car was trailered to Monterey for an event; on the return trip the trailer jack-knifed and caused catastropic damage. Some parts, like the motor, were sold off; the last I saw the remians were on Ebay.

Anyone hear/see anything on this ?

Not to my taste; however, it looks like some serious time and talent ( not to mention money) went into making that car!

Someone spent alot of time on this machine. Sort of looks like a 300zx?

If the car had “catastrophic damage” and “some parts, like the motor were sold off” I’d bet it was probably crushed. That sounds like bent frame damage, and from what I’ve seen around here someone would have be pretty attached to that chassis to cut all of those tubes and square the car up again instead of just starting over with another car.
