He wanted more luggage room,undoubtedly,and has achieved space for the new purpose.
Heck,he may be using the car for something never imagined,horticulture.
Give him a call and ask if it is for sale,to do a restore.

Maybe they are discussing the great dent he's pointing to.
With a spare trunklid,the convertible dumpster trunk is quickly replaced with a smoothy.
Weird things happen in Ca,the crack of the earth at cause,perhaps.

Id keep the side pillars more stock looking to retain the 914 identity. I don't think they need to swept back.

Thanks,great idea.Hadn't occurred to me,I'll do a version,to try it on for size.
The trailing roofline was an attempt to separate the flows,the inertia of the air creating large turbulent vortices.
The LeMans windscreen and those 'walls' made for a smoother passage,needing less hp to push through.
Heck,a vertical separator with a spline curve would work the same as the LMPs.
A bit flash though,I wished to keep it soap bar smooth,60s like.

A compromise,retaining the high rear deck line.More headroom,and a visually low roof proportion.
It's chopped,50mm or so.Up top,the comparison to the '16 Cayman is clear.Down low and fast.

Well,I did purchase a 1:18 diecast model of the 250LM as a gift,some half dozen yrs ago.
But no,the intent was to trial fit the 914 with the sloped LeMans windsceen,as it has a more rounded profile.
*The 250 LM glass by the way,is only available to the owners of the original cars,factory,I believe.And pricey.*
(edit:07/23/16)Totally wrong on that,it is then,possible to meld a 250's windscreen onto a 914's chassis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
Gee,thanks,[sixnotfour],I would never have considered the proposal.*A wider,taller windshield,allowing more shoulder room.*
(edit:07/27/16):Well,after some measurements,it is the 904's windscreen that is taller,the 250's is wider and more sloped.
http://www.pilkington.com/en-gb/uk/automot...-models/ferrari

But,the Lancia Stratos windscreen is a piece that is not too dear.
Way rad.

"First shown at Geneva in 1965, the 250 LM ‘Stradale’ then left for the USA where it remained until now. It is equipped with electric windows and leather seats."
http://www.velocetoday.com/villa-deste-2013/

Man,I adore the perspex rear window,with the formed vents,a detail later done,also by Pininfarina,with the 288 GTO.
A Cool 17M+.

A raised roofline,for the taller driver,with helmet.
The seats,dropped 40mm,closer to the floor pan,the firewall sloped,the footbox lengthened.
Note that the wheelwells have been raised,the front to the same height as the frunklid.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...22522&st=50
That glass would be a custom formed piece,fitting the factory upper frame,the lower seat modified for a similar radius as the 904's.
A form(mold) would have to be made for the short run,tempered,laminated safety glass.
Not cheep tho.

Always loved the 250LM, viewed it as a Ferrari 914 (granted it was pre 914)
Believe it or not there was a time not-so-long ago when they weren't insanely priced...kind of like the 904 etc. Forget about it now.

Well,a jackpot winner,with 300M after taxes might consider such a bauble.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
A trip to the moon,or Mars...

So,a derelict 914 chassis,some sweat equity and various Porsche organs,shake until competitive.
Driving about to make rescues of the numbers,as Unobtanium does with the 356.
A large 'Field of Dreams'steadily decaying as we watch.
Once kissed by the 914 pixie,hard to avert one's affection,and coinage.

So if you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) enough and look just right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ...you might see some resemblance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) or not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) actually mines the 13yr newer model (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

You might have something there,a germ of the ideas they had in the late 50's.
Later,Lamborghini turned things around with the Miura and Countach.
