Probably going to be thrown out of the PCA and banned from the narp club but I think the styling of the car on the right was dead on...
It's just so rebellious for a 914 and so much more interesting than modern 911s.  |

Yeah, it is too bad quality was poor on aftermarket. Mine has one of those mitcom color schemes and is from near where mitcom was operating and considering the only previous owner.. I suspect it is a mitcom job.
I just have a soft spot for that late 70s early 80s design. If the 914 had survived to see it, I would like to think it would have looked like mine. And not like a 924. Not saying the 924 looks bad, just not the same car. |

Not saying the 924 looks bad, just not the same car. Mitcom's (Allan M.) HQ was on Santa Monica Bl. West L.A., afaik thier "Chopper-gun" glass shop was on Broadway in Gardena.The QC on the glass was decent>>not perfect, probably because the body shop would fit + finish each car. Side note; Mitcom built body parts for many teams 911RSR, IROC, 934 & 935 of that era. |
