It seems various folks build just about every component. Is the tooling for these cars still intact somewhere? Why doesn't someone just offer up new body shells/chassi for sale? Yeah it'd be expensive. I don't care...I want one. ...or even a tubed out featherlight faux version

Also, i've heard rumors about Porshce reintroducing a new "914"...this rumor have any legs?

'cause people are too cheap !!!!! we've tried to give away solid near rust free California chassis'....NOBODY would pay the $800 to $1000 for shipping to the East coast nor rent a trailer from U-Haul and grab it if more local..... figure a "new" bare chassis would be $10,000 for one "in the white" if enough orders and the tooling was still around.... I don't believe Porsche will ever bring back the 914 name nor bring out an entry level model and even "mention" the 914 in print at the same time....

I remember this being brought up before... someone even offered o find good "rust free" rollers, strip, prime, and fix any minor rust and resell for IIRC around 8k... no takers, not 1, zero people were willing to spend that... which is crazy to me, knowing how hard it is for someone of average mechanical knowledge(at best), such as myself to do all the things to make a tub 100% correct...

think about it... 1000 for a good tub with some minor rust(no teener is really rust free) then to do it right, you need a rotisserie, welding expertise and the right material, a welder and the materials, blasting or acid dip.... and we're just getting started... 8-10k sould be a steal for someone wanting perfect...
