If a hot rodded 356 is an outlaw, what do we call a hot rod 914?
Car looks incredible Jake. I hope I get to see it in person someday.

You'd be surprised.. It costs the same to restore this car as my Wife's beetle.. Interior and paint cost the same and while some of the rest parts are a bit more money they are OEM.

BTW_ When I took the car to the upholstery shop I had no idea what I wanted.. I did exactly what I require my engine purchasers to do when they choose my services. I deferred the contrast and design completely to the upholsterer and told him that he was the specialist. I didn't ask how long it would take or how much it would cost, because my experience with Billy in the past proved that my expectations would be exceeded and the cost would be fair for the days of his life that would be spent creating the interior. I am a fairly poor design artist with anything except the inside of an engine and I am smart enough to realize that.

What you see here took him 150 hours to create and the price was fair for that much time and top of the line materials. I am blown away with what he did with the interior and now this is pushing me to take the car even further "off the chain".

At the end of the day a 356 is an investment, especially one with documented race history as rich as this one.. It has been an "outlaw" since it was new.
