I think it’s totally the owner’s prerogative to build the car to their taste and there is no doubt that PMS do exceptional work (I’ve been to their facility in Phoenix and have seen first hand the dedication to quality) but... to me a 5 gauge dash is sooo 80s and those seats are totally out of proportion to the rest of the car.
Each to their own though. |

I'm OK with the red interior.
I'm OK with most interiors that are other than black. The seats ? Yeesch ! Is there a way to see more detail of the silver car ? I'd like to see the AC compressor details And the roof too. |

Look, PMS is absolutely one of the finest builders of 914's I have ever seen. I too have been to their facility and was blown away by the quality of their work. If it leaves their shop, it is done right.
We all have our own personal taste when it comes to the ideal 914, some we can all agree on and some are rather, how you say, unique? I would take either of those two beautiful cars and be tickled to own them. |

914s will always be a dreamers car! PMS fulfills dreams (and empties wallets).

Car colors (exterior/interior) in most opinions are "In the eyes of the beholder". My take on Silver/red is
I love it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) On a 930 turbo it is awesome, known as silver/lobster ; photo is of one of our members '77 930. |

I wish the 914-6 had come with red interior, my car would be silver/red. Classic beautiful combination.

If you haven't been on the Patrick Motorsports' website, you're really missing out on the some of the best Porsche 914 builds on
the planet. That said, they probably have to build "to suit" for their customers and some of the things they do are not exactly to my tastes, or most people's tastes. Go check out their approach and you will see that they are experts and have it DOWN. If I win the lottery, Speedy goes to Patrick Motorsport the very next week for a makeover. |

If I win the lottery, Speedy goes there the very next week for a makeover. The website doesn't do his builds justice. You need to see where he builds them. You can eat off the floors and not a spare part is laying around out of place. I'm not sure if that makes him a better builder but I will say that it is impressive as shit when you walk in. Sort of nice to have him local when you need a hard to find 914 part. Luckily I've only needed a part or two over the years as a build from him ain't in my budget! |

Red interior? I also love it in the '63 Stingray (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Marty |

Check out the
Reinforcement bar installed before the build . This was done to address this exact issue. Can't judge a book by its cover . Right ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

Mine only cost 20 - but at least the bumpers were put on right! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Its always great to see others with exceptional success in their fitment. I was awaiting the pictures of you 916 as well. I am sure like we are you are very particular with the fiberglass parts manufacturers and take great pride in the work we do for all of our clients around the world. Thank you |

The yellow car is 9140432294, already in the data base. Silver car is a conversion 4722915201, adding to db VIN corrected... Thank you all who took the time to stop by our booth that weekend at Rennsport. We sincerely appreciate it. We appreciate the praise and intelligent admiration most of you have shared about the 916 3.8L recreation. A car build to this level with all of its special requirements and details is simply not a simple or easy build. Each of our cars we built to meet the individual client requests and specifications. It is about fulfilling a very specific vision for everyone. Each finished project may or may not meets everyone's personal preferences. When a client works with us to provide their vision of a build they will receive exceptional craftsmanship and attentions to details as did this client. This amazing car was additionally the 1st Place winner in Monterrey at the 2015 PCA Werks reunion. The owner has asked us at this time to represent the car for him. If any seriously interested parties would like to discuss acquiring the car I would be happy to discuss this further with them personally. Thank you Erik Black Patrick Motorsports |

Bump from page 3 as it suddenly got quiet. Well played Erik. I guess the best way to shut up the haters was to thank them and ask them to show their superior work.
As I said, beautiful car with top notch components from front to rear and top to bottom. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
