It needs more cowbell.

I saw that too. Might be my ideal 914. The quality looks awesome and I can just imagine what that baby feels like to run through the gears. But like comments on the other thread, the seats are just to much for me. Something a little more subtle would be better.

I'm on a 914 FB group, when the eBay 916 ad was posted to the group, a guy named Leonardo Garcia posted about what Patrick Motorsports had done with his car, about a million posts. He sure didn't paint a pretty picture.

Hardly a clone with 17'' wheels ,911 dash and those seats,really to me its the builds done on here that impress me more than going to PMS and swiping a credit card when the car is done.

Mr. Garcia has been kicked off just about every 914 thread for spewing his B/S reguarding PMS. Let's just be polite and call it Fake News.

And they used one of them crappy repro front bumpers with the "dimple".



The real 916 front bumpers look soooooo much better ...

I admire the cars Patrick Motorsports builds and the special parts, especially for the 914 market that they manufacture. That said, I hate the bumpers, seats, and weird looking big wheels on this build. It just looks out of scale. They do great work, but I wonder who did the specs on this car. Awesome car, just not my tastes.

I agree. I would replace the rims, seats and put chrome bumpers on it. Easy fix!!
Of course if you install chrome bumpers, it will no longer be a 916 tribute.

IF I could afford to have PM build me a car - I would. I have mad-respect for what they can do, how they do it and the attention to detail their builds clearly displays. There are always bad-apples falling off the trees - always.

interesting paint subtleties on the rockers and body. PMS does awesome work / I hear they require an unlimited budget. Then they exceed it....

Quality work requires quantity dollars.

If I had the money I would be taking it home today . I love the build and every thing about it . If it was a Singer 911 it would be 600,000 . To think that you would have 914 that could take on a singer for a faction of the cost .
