Not cheap.....$125K. $125. Reserve Not Met. I have seen this car in person. It is truly exceptionally nice. Top quality all the way. Being that today is MLK day. . . . . I have a dream . . . that whoever ultimately purchases this car will actually drive it. . . . at it's potential. |

Beautiful. Except.....
Change the seats, way too big and bulky. 916 bumpers ? no thanks. Love to see the AC compressor install. Dash / evap. looks very good No time wasted on muffler hangars. Love the roof. |

Wouldn't be much of a 916 tribute without 916 bumpers

Top notch build. The hard top looks so nice on a 914.
Anyone else having a problem with the 17" wheels? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) |

IMO, the 17's look good on this 914 build......similar look to the Singer.

Not a fan of late model seats in early cars as nice as they are...Singer makes a nice retro sport seat that look really good...

There is allot going on here...hidden and integrated so well. I am also not a fan of the over sized, modern seats but I really (really!) like the integrated roll bar - on a hot-rod scale! This is simply a hot rod - nothing else so there are no real right or wrongs here - just whims of the original customer who stroked the check. I'd change things but very little and the quality that PM puts out is almost hard to compare/compete against. Odd the last picture they show in the listing has a fat-ass man bending over talking to the driver - not so subtle "subliminal" message? i now - not nice.
PS: The wheels, on this type of build, suit me just fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) T |

Why does the lower dash portion not have the vents? Is this a very early style lower dash or is it modified?
I really like how clean the lower dash looks without the vent holes and am thinking about attempting that in my car. |

I really like how clean the lower dash looks without the vent holes and am thinking about attempting that in my car. It looks to me like they left off the lower dash pad and substituted the a/c unit. |

Almost looks like the whole facia is a one off affair. The silver over red is striking, but the seats and door cards? Not so much.
