Looks like a "fairly" decent car (not real keen on the mods), but holy crap. Yes, indeed, it is a Porsche. Now, stop beating us with a club over that.

I see at least 17 "Porsche" tags on this car.

Also, it;s a 1.7 with a 2.0 badge. Sheesh, what some people won't do. My guess is, small weenie.

Has no one told him it's not a real Porsche?

..He doesn't have a rear reflector..loser!

overcompensating much? >.<

Overcompensating with a 914 seems to be missing the point.

That streamlined front side marker adds 10 mph to the top end!

I guess he removed the trunk springs and uses a stick as a support...maybe it's balsa for lightness?

Hey, he gets good marks for consistency! Maybe he had too many people telling him how much they liked his X19....

I'm betting he has some embarrassing tattoos.

Posted by: Mueller Jun 10 2015, 08:14 AM

Heck, I'm embarrassed for him!

Must have bought a pack of 20 Chinese made stickers off of eBay....darn it, I'm going to put my $2.99 worth of decals to use!

First time I have ever seen a rear hood badge...

Don't think that black/yellow plate is legit for that car. Blue/yellow was available in 1972 for CA.

Posted by: toolguy Jun 10 2015, 08:47 AM

looks to be a fake 'black' Calif license plate, which were not issued after 1969 . and the number sequence makes it what should be a 'personalized' plate but I can't imagine what it's suppose to mean

I like it. Needs sidewalk scrapers though.

Maybe he has half-zymers - you know, where you remember half the $**t half the time - & this helps him remember what it is!!??

Good one! And clear vinyl slipcovers over the seat upholstery! I can't decide what the worst part is, the teardrop markers (I didn't think you could do worse than the hockeypucks/I was wrong), or the Porsche emblem on the rear view mirrors. Wait, the door cards might be the worst part... Oh well, 20 minutes of removal of logos, some new door cards, 4 lug fuchs and this car could actually be a crowd favorite!

Am I seeing things, or did he put badges on the clutch and break pedal too? edit: never mind, don't have zoom function on my work computer (see below).

Like the aero side lenses. From the cab of a 80's F250?

Posted by: Chris914n6 Jun 10 2015, 01:44 PM

Left the windshield in during paint. Probably broke all the clips and can't get the trim to fasten.

Posted by: billh1963 Jun 10 2015, 01:52 PM

I want to know what that is stuck to the tachometer

I like the advanced thinking behind the "double bagged" shifter

Who knew red vinyl diamond plate had so many high end uses?

Posted by: busmech Jun 10 2015, 03:07 PM

No Porsche floor mats? No window trim but high quality paint job?

How can you guys not notice the missing letter "S" on the engine grill lid?

Posted by: Chris914n6 Jun 10 2015, 08:04 PM

The PO obviously loved the car and put a lot of time into it, unlike the owner of #004.

Plus finding all the non-stock touches has been more entertaining than work today

Posted by: eric9144 Jun 10 2015, 08:42 PM

So...what kinda car is this again? Couldn't really tell

Posted by: wndsnd Jun 10 2015, 09:38 PM

One of five experiMENTAL cars maybe?

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Jun 10 2015, 11:29 PM

The seller claims that he is not the molester of this poorly done 1.7; but if he takes this car as part of a real estate commission (not customary or ethical), this makes them both guilty of ingesting large doses of disco biscuits
Somebody please offer this guy $2,500.00 and debadge it

Posted by: Cuda911 Jun 11 2015, 03:25 AM

Ha!, I missed that double-booted shifter... now that's even crazier than all the badges!

{Where's his wiper arms go?}
