QUOTE(smj @ Sep 4 2006, 06:02 PM) I grabbed these pics from a recent eBay sale. Were there 904 kits out there back in the day besides the Auto Atlanta 9014 kit? I'm still not clear if they've ever sold it... Anyway if I had still been on the East Coast, I think I would have gone for it... eBay auction #270012763535 ended August 6th, should still be searchable. Sigh... Always loved the 904's lines. that is NOT a 904 replica...not close at all, look how f'd up the lines are?? that is 914 abuse, the seller of the kit and purchasers should be ashamed of themselves....it has "cheap-@ss-wannbe-car" written all over it.... now 904svo's car is a replica...and looks pretty decent from the photos.. |

My friend Randy Beck has a 904 he is building in Upland, CA. He helped his father (Chuck Beck) develop the car. Chuck moved to Atlanta 2-3 years ago to work for Avanti Cars to produce his 904 replica running a 3.6. Chuck didn't get along with Avanti management and has struck out on his own to sell the car himself. Randy spent a few months in Atlanta last year to help out his dad in the 904 production and was able to take a chassis & body home as part of his compensation. He has recently pulled it out of the paint shop and is slowly building it up to be an all out race car. He's putting a 3.6 285-300HP motor in it. It should fly with him at the wheel. The car is expected to weigh under 1700lbs. I'll post pics if I can get him to send me a few. He hates computers...

If so, that would be a nice upgrade over your old stock 2.0, right? --Jason |

'Teeners: I'm the lucky guy who won the silver w/black stripes 9014 that was on the Bay in Aug. The 1.7 motor was nearly dead, although I've got a good 1.7 over-size almost ready to stick in. It's loose in the steering, and has misc. medium rust. But as the pics of the Sept. posting just below here show, it's pretty good. And looks fast just sitting still: on a trailer coming to DC a man at the gas sta. asked me where I race it! That'll be a while. IF anyone knows the owner of any other AA kit 9014, please put them on to me--want/need to network. thanks, -Chris H., at carolusandhager@verizon.net .

I wouldn't mind having one of their Daytona coupes instead. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I saw the Beck 904 on display at Sebring in 2004. Very nice. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with Mr. Mueller. Larry's car is beautious (needs steelies (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif) )
The 9014 thing is one of the ugliest POS on the planet. Consider the source. (sorry Chris... one mans treasure, etc.) |

Don't let those gas bags defaming your car get you down. I want to see what you have done with it and what you think about it: Would change this, like this, don't like that, etc. It is still a teener at heart, and IMHO has much better lines than most of the kit cars out there. Hell, even by me putting flares on my car I have been accused of driving a kit car and it ain't real. Hehe, that does not bother me. The 914 has some decent lines, and some weird ones, but it is not its looks I bought and modified mine for - it was for pure driving pleasure. And did I mention it is still a teener at heart? J |

Ok I found one. I thought I took more but this was the only one I could find. He had it out on the track some. It was super cool and I would love to have one but I'm sure it will be a rich guy only model.

So Steve, are you going to check out what Derek Smith has? He is in Vancouver. He also ran a 914 very successfully. He definitely likes the mid engine Porsche's.
