914 family -
I know this car in and out as I'd like to buy it but don't have the available funds. It's about 45 min. from me & I looked at it last week. It is an incredible build in every detail, everything top notch and well-designed. I was blown away by the attention to detail and engineering as I went all over the car, two times in 3 years - last time underneath it on a lift. Example: cooling lines from front to rear underneath are heavy steel, not rubber. Car is like a new car throughout. Rode in it - it's solid like made of one solid block of steel. Chevy V8 is installed so well it looks like it was made to be there. Frame & suspension modified for the V8. Late model Boxster 6-speed tranny. Body is almost flawless, rotisserie paint like new. I cannot imagine a V8 914 being any better. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2933299 No idea what such a build is worth - but quality and design of this one are tops. I'm 76 and have been a car guy since 16. No, I'm not on commission to sell the car. But I'd buy it if I had the liquid funds. GN |

I have never ridden in a v8 914, but I bet it's a blast. The one thing about all the conversions I see that I don't like is cutting the frunk for cooling. Is there no better way that makes it look more like a sleeper and possibly have a GT style front cooler to get the job done?

The GT opening is large enough to cool the Subaru 6 with AC too!   |
