The seat inserts on the real one, and the AA clone, are now a graduated Porsche print, similar to that car, but graduated light, to dark, to light gray.

The original inserts were a bright purple paisley, with honking green, blue, and red accents.

MY EYES!

The reserved resto material is much more pleasing, and the original stuff says, "I have bell bottoms, and I like crappy music!".

Do you guys know if real 916's had an oil cooler in the front bumper cause this replica doesn't?


EWE says yes ... as do all the pictures i've seen. i saw a silver 916-esque car on the lot at Brumos as i came through Jax Beach in 1976 picking up my first 914.6 -- it was from a distance and i had no idea how rare they were then, or i'd have gone to look closer. but i was running late, noted it, and motored on ...

all those cars, originally, were pretty much made to order, for friends of the (Porsche) family and the factory. i think there were almost as many different original interiors as there were cars...

AA got 18.5k for a much closer to Gregg's 916 clone 2 years ago.

The fabric is wrong... and the other one had perfect interior, a perfect copy, minus the air.

this is the car from AA. I talked to this guy on the phone about 1.5 years ago. it's a 914-4 conversion car. he got it from AA. it sounds nice but not worth mid 20's or whatever he wants for it now.

It may be from AA at some point, but it's not the one that was copied near 100%. The one I am talking about is a one owner factory /6, with a transplanted 2.2 euro S motor.

They probably still have pictures up.

It has the same inserts as the Gregg car has now, and a perfect ugly leather dash, hanging on like a sharpei skin. Wrinkle pups!

LOL! I just read the old thread, same conversation.

I think a rather strange thing is that they actually went to the trouble to remount the side marker lights, rather than elimnate them all together.
