Not bad huh?
Only those that appreciate the look and work done need apply.
That is in fact a lot of work done.

I thought the same thing. I could almost see an RX-7 body under there, but the door handles are 914.

Is that a big round air filter in the back window? V8 conversion or just a good use of door handles?

Almost certain Honda Civic.
Imagined transplanting the roofline of the same car onto a Fiero,because it looks so right.Sales figures point out the popularity and similarity to Pininfarina's curves.
With a twinturbo v8 ++

One of the 911 race cars has a roof scoop, this is probably a tribute to that car....

Sure,SBC, done a little.
All the heavy lifting is done,tho it no longer resembles a 914 at all.
It looks a little like the Fieros modded up.
I can't bring myself to call it ugly because it's so well done.
It's the intact 914 door that makes it clear where it's origins are.
The tail has some nice clues of Porsche GT1 as does the roof scoop.
What the seller "auto" do is post his ad with a dozen pix with more detail,to like,you know,sell it.

Well yeah, that would make sense with the engine being in the ass of the car. But this? Even aesthetically it's a bad idea.

I've never seen people do so may botch cosmetic body jobs on a car than a 914. Sad to ruin a classic this way. Just goes to show that for a long time, being cheap and no respect for the car has lent itself to being an inexpensive project car to do whatever with. Now that it's getting more recognition and prices soon to go up, people will regret chopping up this car.

The sad thing about these botch botch body jobs to make a 914 "look" faster, is once you get in it to drive it 0-60 in 13 seconds. I guess all those wings and spoilers and rocket ships attached didn't make a difference. lol

It's on the beholder eyes. I'm sure there are things that he can say of your selection.
As some had mention, it looks liked a lot if work was out I to it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I would buy this for $2k but not for $12k. It does look to be "well done" in pictures. Someone needs to go look at this and get better pics. I have seen the term Super Car used several times on V8 914's. I think "super cars" are a little more refined than this.

Super SBC V8 Porsche 914.
Today's threshold for super power is way up there,what with all the new fangled tech available.Even in 283 form a mid V8 is a great idea.California after all,requires some real radical displays to be super.A wing?

Thats 100% a CRX mid and rear. The door handles are 914, the front is unknown and the body kits are unknown.

The big questions is what suspension and underpinnings does it have. Its obviously has thousands of hours of work in it.
