Can you include a link...or complete info ?
I'm not a fiberglass kind of guy but it looks better than many to me.

Perfect car for a Subaru Turbo conversion, intercooler in one sidepod and oil cooler in the other.

The body isn't my cup of tea. That is one of the better looking ones I have seen.

It looks quite well done.

I agree. That calls out for an over the top build...massive engine (V8 or turbo suby) and all kinds of crazy stuff.

Massive stereo kicking out some "Miami Vice" soundtrack and you'll be the coolest guy in town

Certainly seen worse. Looks like it was built for a purpose and fallen into neglect. The right person may have a lot of fun with this.

Remove the wing and I think its not a bad looking body kit car. The 15" welded wheels need to go as does what I assume is stock suspension.

Enlarge the openings for the wheels and you can easily fit a radiator in each front side.

Pair it with a decent 4 cyl turbo or a subaru 6 and you can have a full front and rear trunk.

Only needs about 15k in paint, suspension, wheels, conversion, interior to be made into a decent car..

Whats the for sale sticker say? Whats in the middle? Where is it?

Does it have a race history? or just some artistic effort?

Posted by: JmuRiz Mar 20 2017, 10:12 AM

Cars like this would be great for a conversion like that!

Posted by: rgalla9146 Mar 20 2017, 10:12 AM

Race history...... really ?

I dont see a cage, decent wheels, an abused body, any lightening, or non street use signs either.

Posted by: brant Mar 20 2017, 10:27 AM

plus there is no racing class for car like this

Looks as bad as a lot of the "mods" I see here...people trying to make 914's look like someone's idea of a "race car"

Posted by: SirAndy Mar 20 2017, 12:45 PM

I like the wheels ...

Posted by: cwpeden Mar 20 2017, 06:43 PM

Cant imagine they ever heard of the term 'scrub radius'?

P A G I N G M A T T W H I T E S E L L ! ! !

Posted by: Mueller Mar 20 2017, 07:02 PM

No thanks, even when I 914-less I wouldn't want that car if it was free and delivered to my house!

Too over the top for me, not my style at all. There would be a lot of 'glass getting ripped off and thrown away.

Posted by: My 914 Mar 20 2017, 08:39 PM

I agree. Put the biggest engine you can find in there.

Posted by: lcjo73914 Mar 20 2017, 10:57 PM

Well, I talked to the owner today, and it's a 1970 street car, with 914 suspension, it had a V8, but removed, and now has a 914 2.0 motor.
It's a set up for V8 conversion.
They r asking $4k for it.
It's located on Hwy 59, Hwy 152 and Hwy 99, between Los Banos and Merced- Ca
