That's not a 914, although it's a common mistake to make. That's the one-off factory prototype 414, built specially for Ferdinand.

That's a sweet mod.

I'd go look at it just to take more pictures of it.

Seems like a good deal for 3K.

It's got that same look when you see a new model car on the road that has not been released yet and it's disguised to hide how it looks. barf.gif

I actually like the windshield.
What they should've done was take off the side windows and cut off the taga/roll bar.
Then maybe do something with the snowplow and put on some better wheels.

Does anyone else get a batmobile kind of vibe from this? You have to ask why someone invested this much time and effort.

Other than the failed styling attempt it looks be be a great car with real potential. Good candidate for a windshield delete?

Handles like an F1. Wonder what magic made that possible.

I have to wonder just how fast it is with the progressive Weber.

The font looks like the same font used by Buick for their Gran Sport (GS) series muscle cars from the late-60s to early-70s. That particular emblem appears to be from one of the later model years.

Had I been "Ferdinand", I would have told Hans and Fritz to go back to the drawing board. That thing is beyond butt ugly.

As if Porsche couldn't get it right.... ?

Wait a minute everybody. Looking at the back of the car, it says it’s a GS. Doesn’t that stand for Grand Sport? Maybe this is a new Buick prototype. But then The nose looks like it was chasing a parked bus.

Reminds me of those cut out and fold 'em car models that used to come on the back of cereal boxes...

I think in this case the GS stands for goat shit... icon8.gif
