I think the excecution is really nice. Style is a little 90s but it probably look 10 years to build... I'd drive it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

This car is beautiful and in a race would beat most of us soundly...then we would have to shut up since his car is faster than our cars.....a couple more grand here and there and now you are a rare bird with a super car.....this is thinking out of the box 505....or maybe 11 0 11....look at this car....let's see you make one!! Ha!!

Imagine if this used to be an original 6. I am not sure sure it would be worth it to remove all the ugly even then.

While I’m not a fan of the look, I can appreciate the hours and hours of work that went into this.


I agree.

More than a a couple of grand. I think there was a large stack of c-notes, very large, invested in that car. Hate the rear treatment.

That 6 @ $109.5k seems like a lot of money. About 10k less than we paid for our house on an acre of land. WOW! Optimistic.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I give them an A+ for craftsmanship, and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) for design and good taste. I'm not sure why they bothered to badge it as Porsche, I don't see much Porsche left on this car. As for speed, my Honda CRV is faster than my 914, but that doesn't make it beautiful.

I can appreciate all the time and money invested in this car. But somebody should be arrested for this.
If they would only use their hands for good, instead of this.

Remember everyone... there is a butt for every seat. You and I may hate the appearance of this car, but someone out there will fall in love with it and show it off to his/her friends.

This is also an example of why you don't want to use ethanol in your 914. It gets the car drunk and it hooks up with a corvette.....

Does that only make the overall effect worse though?

It's 2018 and you all look at this and go yeeechh! I do too. But if it was 1990 and you saw this you would think this was super cool Miami Vice style and would want to go cruising..
