I was really impressed with this one. Even the purists have to appreciate this one..... or at least appreciate the work that went into it. The only reason I posted it is because it isn't posted in the 914 section..... I stumbled onto it by accident.

13X17 rear wheels? Holy crap!

It is a very nice looking conversion. Not my cup of tea though as it doesn't look much like a 914 anymore, but still a very nicely done conversion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Looks like very nice work.
Lots of money invested, but the Ferrari-type bodywork is definitely not my taste.

Yellow does look fast though!

IIRC there is someone here who was building something very similar
(yellow testarossa bodykit) maybe it's the same guy?
He posted pics of it in the "what does your 914 look like" thread

Not quite my taste, but it looks like a quality job

I like the 911-type dash though.

Well done! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

It's Benetton fashion. I believe they made jackets and purses with these colors. If I recall a race team used it as well, ala the MOMO wheel.

At least the owner didn't use all the colors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) The workmanship is great and carrying the yellow color throughout the body is admirable. The mechanics were not as thorough.

No mention of a tall geared 901/914 or 915/930 tranny...hope it's not the '70 tail shifter.

I know the professional work set the sale price but I would expect more for $22k.

The good worksmanship is wasted on a distinctly ugly body design. The same worksmanship on a car like the pic. below, would really be something, at least to my mind.

Someones done alot of work. If you go to the website theres more pictures. The headers look like they were special built and do some kind of cross over from one side of the engine to the other. I sure would like to see some full pictures of them.
But it does look like it has the stock unvented rotors I don't think there 911 stuff.

I like it maybe yellow is faster.

If anyone is interested... I have this exact body kit still in the crate. 1000$ plus shipping.

This *might* be Andy Leaneys old Renegade Hybrids shop car (or a damn good clone of his). It appears that is was Ca. smog legal at one point (nobody uses those headers or that carb unless they are trying to smog it)

This guy fabricated some nice details. Notice the flush tail lights, not the recessed 914 tail lights you see on the ex-Renegade car? He also smoothed out the rocker panel "kink". He also made all the intakes and vents functional. The problem with this kit is you know it is a copy of the Testarossa fenders so you know it's "missing" something (the horizontal slats).
