I think it's a Rayco too. I'd love to sell this one. Whole car or kit.

Don't do it! Why ruin another perfectly good 914?

It looks like the Chalon kit too.

Have another (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) you'll be OK...

We call them chitlon kits, these days along with all of the other fiberglass kits from years past. These days everyone restores them to steel stock or GT look! At least this one is already done so you will not have to suffer. Funny when the cars were new everyone was all excited about the kits to change the look. NOW NO ONE wants to do it. The 914 has truly grown to a beauty in its old age.

I agree with you here. The 914 is like that slightly odd chick noboby talked to in high school. She had a hot body but your friends thought she was strange. 20 years later you figure out your friends didn't know jack. She's still got a great body and she's unique, not strange. That's what keeps you interested.
