Looks to be a nicely done car.

No affiliation, just thought I would share.

I don't know about other states, but here in Texas, the official word is "The part of the chassis that has the VIN number stamped in it is the legal chassis. The rest is attached to it."

So if you keep the whole right front inner fender intact, then that is the car. The rest are just parts attached to the car. Like swapping an engine or transmission.

Legally, in Texas, you could buy a 914-6 that consisted of just the right front inner fender and the windshield VIN plate. Then get a -4 chassis of the same year, and you would, for legal purposes, have a "real 914-6" chassis once you replaced the complete right inner fender. It is not a re-body according to the state of Texas, it is a chassis repair.

There is a big difference in what is legal, and what is the right thing to do when selling a car. I would want to know that had been done, and I believe it would put a lot of shade on that "914-6" chassis. I think you would want to disclose that it is a repaired chassis using a 4 cylinder donor.

I think they did it right with this one. They repaired the chassis and they are disclosing the fact. And for a race car that will never see the street, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.
