I'm just going to file this one under strange....

Description:
This is a Mercedes GTR kit car. It originally came from Florida and has been sitting in a climate controlled storage facility for the past seven years. Overall it’s in great shape. Lots of upgrades. The engine is located in the back. It is a 350 Chevy (mildly built) with an aluminum intake, high performance Eldibroch carburetor. This runs great. The transmission appears to be a Porsche four speed manual with independent suspension. The clutch is in great shape. Heater, headlights, etc all work. Brand new $150.00 battery. Does need a little TLC, like minor brake work from sitting. No rust! Solid steel floors. This was taken in as an owed payment and I have no space for it. Come with a bill of sale. Open to offers.

Yikes! This can only be brought out on Halloween.

Wtf.. That's all I can say..

So you owed someone money and they made you take this to clear your debt?

I would rather pay the debt

It looks like it's from a bad movie from the 70s. I'f the scoops were removed then painted black it might be okay for Halloween. Oy!

I wasn't aware the circus was in town! Someone's dream becomes a nightmare. This abomination has been around for a while.

and I thought that this car was ugly:

Posted by: mobymutt Dec 15 2018, 09:56 AM

I think it looks better than any current Mercedes offering.

Posted by: Tbrown4x4 Dec 15 2018, 09:58 AM

But those floor mats!






Hey.......9 posts and no 904 jokes? You guys are slipping.

Beauty is what you make it.

That would be SO cool for a 24 Hours of Lemons car!!!

Posted by: davep Dec 15 2018, 10:31 AM

Okay, so it carries a 914/4 VIN tag. Is that the only 914 part on the car? I can see nothing else that suggests a 914.
As for Mercedes Benz, is the grille the only M-B part. I think you mean Edelbrock, but you could be right and it is another twist on parts.

This one managed to go SO far to the ugly side... that it is beautiful. I can't stop staring at it.... like a car wreck.

That Chevy badge on the rear did it for me, personally.

Posted by: wes Dec 15 2018, 12:25 PM

Amazing! That makes ugly look good!

And I thought the Citroen Ami was visually challenged, I may have to reevaluate.

Posted by: mountainroads Dec 15 2018, 12:37 PM

Seriously - how drunk (or high) was the OP when they accepted that as payment?

Posted by: Tbrown4x4 Dec 15 2018, 01:00 PM

Why does the engine sit so high? Is it just my imagination?

Posted by: Ansbacher Dec 15 2018, 01:02 PM

If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything.....so I am going to shut up.

Initially looked like a death trap but then I saw the dual drivers side side-mirrors.

Posted by: mgp4591 Dec 15 2018, 02:17 PM

That's the second ugliest thing I've ever seen...

Posted by: JeffBowlsby Dec 15 2018, 02:53 PM

Cut it

Posted by: KELTY360 Dec 15 2018, 04:06 PM

Elegant styling, impeccable lineage, subtle sculpting....I'll take it!

Oh wait, NO RUST.....forget it.

And Ted had a lifelong dream of becoming an automotive designer.......until this!

Posted by: rgalla9146 Dec 15 2018, 06:26 PM

So.....George is selling the yellow car and Adam is selling the green one ?

Posted by: Unobtanium-inc Dec 15 2018, 07:35 PM

Nope, I drive Benz's, I don't sell them.

There honestly should be a law...

Posted by: ClayPerrine Dec 15 2018, 10:18 PM

I gotta agree with my wife (and not just because she is my wife )

This would make a GREAT Lemons car. Maybe we should plaster it with 914World Racing logos and have at it.

Posted by: 914bub Dec 15 2018, 10:43 PM

So you're divorced too!? Adam, your crazy for taking that in. Hope your charging storage and have no sex until it's gone!

Posted by: Unobtanium-inc Dec 15 2018, 11:29 PM

I don't own the Green Machine, just saw it for sale and was sharing. I love Benz's and I love 914's, but together not so much.

Posted by: Mark Henry Dec 16 2018, 08:32 AM

Or for a hollywood movie for a Wacky Races reboot.

Death Race 2000? Road Warrior? Corvette Summer?

Posted by: Triaddave Dec 16 2018, 01:14 PM

I don't know what it is, but if I saw it on a toilet seat, I wouldn't sit on it.

Posted by: rhodyguy Dec 16 2018, 03:19 PM

I would paint or vinyl the front end like a P-38 and drive the hell out of it.

Posted by: bretth Dec 16 2018, 04:06 PM

Funny thing is this car makes the Laser 917 kit car look good.

Posted by: mepstein Dec 16 2018, 04:36 PM

I would love to have a Lazer 917 and drive it to a PCA event.

Posted by: AZBanks Dec 17 2018, 09:52 AM

Why does it have hood scopes in the front and the back?

Posted by: dr914@autoatlanta.com Dec 17 2018, 09:55 AM

I am using the yellow PIG for parts!!!

Posted by: Front yard mechanic Dec 17 2018, 09:56 AM

Do the car some justice , please park it outside

Posted by: rhodyguy Dec 17 2018, 09:56 AM

And why does the rear scoop tower have side windows? I would blacken those out.

Posted by: 914forme Dec 17 2018, 06:54 PM

So you can see what your going to be fearing.

I would get rid of the from hood, put an exit scoop out of it, pickup so air flow there.

Redo the rear engine cover to make it a bit more smooth, and drop an LS (pick your number or letter here). And then paint it silver, and take it to Lemons.

That pedal assembly looks sketch, so I am guessing the rest of the engineering is of equal quality.

I am guessing the thing also will handle like the pig it is.
