It's a Sheridan kit, that's the "narrow" street version:

I believe that car now resides in NJ.
Its sick...and fast.

Ask Chris Foley for more details...he has worked on refining the mechanicals on that car.

I believe it has a 500 plus HP v8 motor...

Trust me, it's a Sheridan body kit, alas with a few modifications.

The car does not have fixed headlights. They are standard 914 fare.
However, there's not much else that was left stock.

Car has quite a few more body mods than just the standard kit. Like most 914's its not cookie cutter.

The car is a handful for sure.
This pic was taken in the spring this year at the Meadowlands, before we discovered that he PO had misconfigured the spring rates. Too soft up front and way too stiff at the back.

I'm sure Paul wouldn't need much arm-twisting to sell it, as his employment situation has been spotty the last couple years.
It would take $100K to build this car again, the right way.
