Great looking car! The seat are too high or too big though.

$125. Reserve Not Met.




I have seen this car in person. It is truly exceptionally nice. Top quality all the way.






Being that today is MLK day. . . . . I have a dream . . . that whoever ultimately purchases this car will actually drive it. . . . at it's potential.

hmmm, I wonder if he'd swap out the fugly 916 bumpers for some nice chrome bumpers?

Car must be a blast to drive! I love the interior.

Great build. I'd like to see more pics of the other details on the car.

nicely done rollcage, I like how it goes into the dash and hugs the a-pillars

125K and they didnt bother getting a NICE front bumper... They custom fit the sides really well, but Damn it if they didnt get the pug nose bumper.

Just saw this car a couple weeks ago. To bad my fat could not fit in those seats....

Beautiful. Except.....
Change the seats, way too big and bulky.
916 bumpers ? no thanks.
Love to see the AC compressor install. Dash / evap. looks very good
No time wasted on muffler hangars.
Love the roof.

Wouldn't be much of a 916 tribute without 916 bumpers

Top notch build. The hard top looks so nice on a 914.

Anyone else having a problem with the 17" wheels?

I'll take those 17"s

Posted by: Cal Jan 17 2017, 07:37 PM

IMO, the 17's look good on this 914 build......similar look to the Singer.

Not a fan of late model seats in early cars as nice as they are...Singer makes a nice retro sport seat that look really good...

There is allot going on here...hidden and integrated so well. I am also not a fan of the over sized, modern seats but I really (really!) like the integrated roll bar - on a hot-rod scale! This is simply a hot rod - nothing else so there are no real right or wrongs here - just whims of the original customer who stroked the check. I'd change things but very little and the quality that PM puts out is almost hard to compare/compete against. Odd the last picture they show in the listing has a fat-ass man bending over talking to the driver - not so subtle "subliminal" message? i now - not nice.

PS: The wheels, on this type of build, suit me just fine.

Why does the lower dash portion not have the vents? Is this a very early style lower dash or is it modified?

I really like how clean the lower dash looks without the vent holes and am thinking about attempting that in my car.

Posted by: mepstein Jan 25 2017, 07:21 AM

It looks to me like they left off the lower dash pad and substituted the a/c unit.

Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 25 2017, 10:15 AM

Almost looks like the whole facia is a one off affair. The silver over red is striking, but the seats and door cards? Not so much.

Posted by: amfab Jan 25 2017, 11:26 AM

I would guess that the late style lower dash vents wouldn't work with the roll cage bar coming down right where the back of the vents would be.

Posted by: My 914 Jan 25 2017, 01:15 PM

I agree. I think a 914 or 911 style seat would look better, especially with red trim or stitching. Would contrast nicely with the red dash and door panels.

Building a 916 clone without 916 bumpers would be kinda like building a 914-6 clone but keeping it a -4.

Check out there web site and look under projects. Nice pictures of the build. You will notice a hole in the firewall for the compressor. This will most likely reduce seat travel for tall drivers. And yes it would no longer be a 916 tribute if you change the bumpers.
