Well I like the orange with the black center stripe........but then there is the rest of it

That is something...

To each thier own. It's still a teener!!!

i was like ...

something is wrong with this picture ...

oh yeah i know ...

where the hell are his jack stands ???

i guess that muffler does not neccessarily mean it has a type 4 in it?

I think I'd like to have the wheels, nice offset......

i like the way the whale tail matches his license plate

the whale tail is at the height that most say is needed to be efective.

clearly this guy is a believer in function OVER form : )

I tink I just threw up in my mouth a little.

But in this person's defense, it looks like he may be experimenting with airflow to the engine bay. I hope. Otherwise, I'm gonna spend the night in front of the toilet.

With the wheels, flares, & wing, it could be one bad-ass 914 as long as it isn't powered by a 1.7L T4.

I like the color scheme. It would be interesting to understand what the extended engine cowl does.

I might have opted for black padding on the roll cage . . .

I think its interesting looking...probably a V8 in there I would guess, Is that on a public road?

It looks like a modified Sheridan body kit. If it is, the wheels have probably zero offset.

Maybe its one of those spy photos of Porsche road testing the new 914 and they added all the extras to disguise the real shape of the car until it official press release.

Judging from the air-filter peeking out of the engine bay and the cradle mount for the rear of the transmission, i'd say it's a V8 with a 930 cable shifter transmission.

The addition to the roll-bar looks like a cold air intake of sorts.

The wing is actually too low for the current setup. I would be OK without the roll-bar extension.

Overheating problem perhaps?? The Need For Speed spoiler (out of the airflow) with the upside down winglets is funny.

Saw it on 680 south in the car pool lane last Friday PM as well.... distinctive sail panel... Van Halen fan perhaps?

I agree.. That is a v8 conversion, sheridan body...


The only thing that looks weird is the targa, which I agree he is possibly working on airflow..

Those chrome license plate bolts throw the whole car off .........

...Somebody threw some long Ducat's at that!!
(super basterd!}

blowing the picture up ..... i think that targa extension is were the rediator is mounted.

That would make sense, But its pretty damn odd..
There is not really enough airflow to put the radiator there.. and it doesnt look like the air is exhausted properly.



Jeff, did you pass this car in Cali? It has the Cali whale license plate..

I wonder if we have anyone who can pull up MAXPORS in the vin database?

Wish I could tell you more about it. These were shot on Sunday morning on the on ramp to 680 south at Mission Blvd. here in the Bay Area.

Definitely a V-8 car, older gentleman driving. He actually passsed us while going up the Sunol grade...flying up the grade....but the wife and I caught him on the down hill if you can believe that.

Pics courtesy of the wifes cell phone, sorry they are not better. He must be local to the east bay given that he's been spotted a couple times now here, but have not seen him before.

I wonder if the weird extensions could be for sound deflection?

The rest of the car actually looks pretty cool. Agree about the blue rollbar foam and the wing being too low for best functionality.

Would the grey 'scoop' on the top of the extension maybe be forcing air down into the engine bay area? I think if you got rid of the cowl extension and whale tail it would be a good looking car.
