I stumbled acorss this ad (no affilication at all) and just thought I would share since I have never seen a convertible 914 before. Looks interesting to say the least. I sort of like it.

Looks like a 914 mated with a Fiat...

more steel to rust in the roof frame...great.

I like the idea, not a fan of the roof when down...I cant believe these cars dont need more air than the two little scoops provide.

It's gotta be a flipper because that same car was for sale in the Watsonville area last month for $7500. Mike B. linked the ad (now expired) at the bottom of this thread:

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=174323

I talked to the Watsonville owner, who is an antique dealer and not a real car guy, and he said the car ran fine, no overheating issues at all.

They were doing some crazy stuff to 914's in the '80's and '90's. I remember picking up magazines on a monthly basis with some sort of new bodykit for a 914.
Mostly those guys on the west coast. Hippies. Ha ha.

Same thing happened with the VW bug back in the sixties. Lots of fiberglas body mods. Baja bugs, Meyers Manx, etc.
