Reminds me of a Johnny Cash song

I got to thinking about this - perhaps it isn't a 914 underneath it all, but I could see where they would use a 914 VIN since "1972 or older" wouldn't have to meet all the emission requirements - they must have attached 914 VIN in various places (no frame stampings, right ?).
Just a theory... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I dont understand where there are so many experts on this forum that are experts that can analize three pics. and tell weather the car is good or bad. everybody has a right to their opinion but there is to much bashing on this fourm. if you cant say anything goo then say nothing at all.

CRX windshield roof and rear window welded onto a teener maybe? It has Porsche doors.
But that might be all it has.

Hi

Come on guys, this is better then 99% of the "kits" that we see. I agree its a Hienz57 with minimal 914 parts, probably to get around the emmission tests or other local laws. Drop the roof scoop and the tail, and it makes for a decent kit.

You guys are nasty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)

Looks like a Nissan.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Wing is a bit much...
Interesting though. I wish there were more pics of the cockpit and behind the seats.
Nice view though.
Nice dog too.

I think that there was another thread abotu this one here. May have been on NASIOC though.

Consensus was that it was a Honda CRX with a 914 Vin tacked in to get smog free status.

None of the lines mate up right to be a 914, but the body is just about spot on for a CRX.

It looks like a decent job. I would do a different color and remove the roof scoop and wing but otherwise I don't think it looks too bad.

I think the wheel base is too short to be a teener.

I do see 914 door handles.

This may not be your cup of tea, but it's easy to get into bashing on the 'net, cause there's no recourse.

My opinion is the guy doesn't want to sell the car. For a car like this you'd have to post photos with much more detail. The only bash I'd offer is if you really want to sell the car, you gotta show how it was put together. If you fail to show the details, then you might think there is something to hide.

Not everyone has the same idea of what makes a car cool.

The door and handle looks like a 914. It is possible they welded the quarters and hatch from a CRX onto it.

I think Dan might be right. Since the doors are definately 914 I bet they basically grafted a crx body onto the rest of it. The rear bumper seems to be a smoothed 916. The hood also has a very 914 angle to it (with the headlight covers blened in).
