My friend Greg sent me pics today of a 914 he got from his neighbor. It's a little modified and had a Chevy 350 in it. Luckily, he just happens to have a dirt track car with a hopped up Chevy 350. So he grabbed a Porsche gearbox from me and his monster engine, and track day it is!
Not sure how much of the body work he will keep but he is looking for some box flares if anyone has any they can cut off. You can drop them at my booth at Hershey so no shipping issues. Another one saved! Attached image(s) |

He will also be looking to sell the wheels since he is going wider. I have some super wide ones he can use. I can bring the wheels to Hershey so no shipping issues there either.

On the other hand, put a monster small block in but leave the stock wheels on. That could be very entertaining.

Personally, I don't mind seeing whale tails . . . . wait . . . I meant the other kind.

Yeah the duck tail is friendlier to the eyes if you really gotta have one.

the perfect car for a GT steel flare replica

A bit over done to me on a 914, I just don't like the look. |
