Exterior is good for the most part.... the wood interior is a little much though.... that would be very easy to change.
Maybe not "stunning" but very clean.... a few changes and it might be... |

Don't particularly care for the wooden interior and the gauges.
I also don't like the black trim on the sail panels, windows and windshield. This could be a better car. Restore the interior to original and maybe we're talking. |

Two trunks are better than one! Group: Members Posts: 2,025 Joined: 29-December 02 From: Southeast Michigan Member No.: 42 |
That is ONE BEAUTIFUL CAR! Sure, it's not gonna appeal to the purists, but you gotta appreciate the workmanship that went into the customizing. I believe it will go for more than $10,000 as well it should. Not to a CW, of course, but someone who wants a VERY nicely done custom car. I like the look of the blacked out chrome with the tinted windows.

Rust may not be anything to worry about, but termites will or maybe carpenter ants.

Stunning?
What's stunning is WOOD door panels!!! Give me a break! Did Bob Vila or Norm Abrams own that thing? Things were going along fine until I saw that. These cars burn easy enough with out throwing wood on the fire. Paul |

This is going to be a tough sale.
Whoever buys it better watch out for the armor-all'd tire tread: (IMG:http://thorin.adnc.com/~jimcharn/914-258.jpg) |

Think I need a new keyboard Group: Members Posts: 301 Joined: 16-May 03 From: Siesta Key, FL/Gainesville, FL Member No.: 702 |
That whole front end needs to GO!!! Definately early style bumpers and fogs w/ the special edition spoiler NOT painted. That interior looks horrible. Granted to probably took a shit load of time but I would never do it. I'd rather have the carbon fiber look but not wood. Wood is for luxury cars not small racers. Very well done but still needs work before they show it.
PS- it probably did get shown, just the Porsche enthusiats laughed at him, seriously. |

Stunning?? Parts of it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I dig the color and Fuchs on it. I'd say a better description would be Illegal for use and sale in California (Webers) They must have had a sale on Porsche Crests or he really, really needs to be reminded what kind of car it is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

It's up to almost $8K. Someone must like it a lot!
Sure there are some odd cosmetic things, but I think it's cool overall. I wonder what those little colored buttons or lights do on the console? |

he definetly spent more than a few 100 on it. The paint has alot of orange peel to it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Like the color though. a custom car is a hard sell

For the record, that's not the special ed spoiler, that's a FlexDam. Aftermarket, but good, of course normally all black looks better. Mark S. '70 914-6 |

Yah Ok the wood is a bit much but it is a nice looking car. My only question is how do you smog this thing? It's a 75 rite?? Whatever you may thinkabout it, a lot of love went into this machine and I got to respect that. (The wood reminds me of a boat my friend restored years ago.)
Cheers, Elliot |

I like the painted rockers and valances. you purests nit pick any changes from stock. I think change is good as it gives the car your personalty if it makes you happy. I would give my eye teeth for seats like that.
