While I was going to the ice hockey rink today I spotted a dark 914 with a kit I never seen before. It looked unbalanced from the rear. Looked like (HUGE) SC flares but it was also a slant nose. The pics aren't very good, from my cell phone. Does anyone know about this car?

Is that a cloth top like on a 911? For what that cost to do (plus flares and that crazy ass wing) why wouldn't you just buy the real thing?

I say why not? It isn't your car that he did it to.

with that rear wing angle, it lifts off at 100mph.

911 rear flares? kinda?

I dunno... I sorta like it. With a big six or a SBC it wouldn't be so bad. My guess is that it's a BeachBoys kit. It also has a broken trunk pivot that makes the stance look odd.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Yup, I noticed that too. Probably explains the trunk pivot damage as well (additional stress).

I like the body but can't stand the wing.

I Think that car was on the cover of a magazine quite a few years ago. The owner built the ragtop, raked the windshield. It looked pretty sweet back then, but I think he went over the top on this last rendition.

That's the black care from Otto's in Venice. There's a body shop right around the corner from his p-car place. I believe they did all the work, and he put the V8 in it (I think).

Raked windshield, tanneau cover for the soft-top, special windows... I think the list goes on. In person it is a very attractive car.
