Looking for a special 914, On the hunt for my dad's 914 Options

[turnerj]

A long time ago my dad had a couple 914s. One of them in particular he spent a lot of money on. Then he had a 944 on order when they were first coming out so he sent one 914 off from Virginia to Arizona for Porsche-Only (Tempe, AZ?) to do a lot of custom work on. The car started out orange and ended red, the bodywork was based off a Chalon slantnose look, he had a bigger engine put in (just a 2.0, couldn't find a 6), and just a ton of other work done on it. All the work cost over $16k back in the '80s. I realize that many don't exactly love the chalon kit, but he assures me that it was the most complete and best looking one out there. And I agree, when a slantnose isn't done right, I can't stand it. But when they are done right and complete, I really like them.

Then the very first time he drove it after all the work, he parked it and came back to see a note on it saying how it was the nicest 914 and if it was for sale. He brought it back to VA but then let his girlfriend take the car to Arizona again who didn't exactly take the best care of it. His brother in AZ got the car back and drove it for a year. Finally, the car was bought by someone (perhaps though eBay) in Texas who works on aircraft interiors (my dad thinks) and was capable of fixing the fiberglass on the car that needed some work.

And that's as far as I'm at right now. So, I am really curious where this car is now and I was hoping that there might be someone who might just be able to give me a lead. He thinks that the car was a 1972, he doesn't have a VIN number for it at this time, but hopefully soon.

Thanks for reading, and hopefully someone will be able to help me out

I see a red Chalon in my area occasionally. Have not spoken to the guy yet.
