If that is a Porsche vin it's gotta be a 356 very late A or very early B.

It has some nice parts on it....seats, steering wheel, Getty dash, rims, MAYBE a good motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

But I just figured out that the rear deck louvers are likely from a 1980's Camaro/Firebird.

The 3rd tail-lite holder is so F40,tho the wing is the thing.
The front view is tolerable,similar to the 911 slope.
The cumulative effect of additions without improvements in power is a heavier car.
With a minor reshaping it would have more appeal,the b glass in particular.

My opinion. I see all of the various body kits that have come and gone as lame attempts to "correct" the original design by people that could not appreciate the 914 for what it is. They are fools!

Ebay ads states "VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): 197591 "

seller states in an email to me "The body VIN is 4752905768." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Speaker pods with stereo delete.....why do that?

It's a 1975 also, so it's not gonna be a six unless converted.

I wonder if that rear thing comes off....then maybe the next owner could get it slightly back towards normal.

I think every kit made offered a different way to make a 914 look hideous, just pick how ugly you wanted. Workmanship looks good, so yeah, just think how nice she could have been with all that time and cash poured on her!

I have seen worse kits on a 914. But still makes me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) Wonder how hard it would be to remove all that crap and maybe make it into a track car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

What a waste of a great license plate!

Owner should be charged with fraud and forced to give up the plate to a real GT

I'm betting he also own a Fiero lambo kit or is considering one!

Certainly the Bertones are rising in value.

I talked to the guy selling it at the Swap last year and he was an Senior Older Guy?
Not someone you would picture in that car. Probably bought it to flip it for a profit my guess.
