Car that Bobby Smith once owned. Quite fast. (him too!)
Former PCA Parade FTD winner. His ex-914 2.8 FAT was truly quick. Many Auto-X victories in it. Check the driving link he posted on the auction. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-porsche-914-95/ |

That car was on a lift when my first corner bal was done at Fordahl’s. FG flares iirc. There was a ton of money invested in that car.

There’s a lot of forward rake. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It does look like the rear is sitting too high. They are right, you could not build that car for that price. They are expensive toys in that configuration. |

Don’t really see how $65 k for conversion is great price.
For seller for sure. Just sayin… Always been more expensive to build than buy finished product. |

There’s a lot of forward rake. The FG flares had to be trimmed because I was running 275/35-15 Hoosiers on 9" wheels in the rear and 245's on 8" wheels in the front.  |
