ANOTHER CHANGE- It's still sitting in my garage. $400! Don't make me use these as garden planters!

UPDATE--- Well this hasn't had much activity for a while. I'd really like to be done with it. How does $500OBO sound?

Excellent condition except the Porsche branded reflector panel is cracked.

If you are interested, you probably already know what it is, but the Chalon Kit was a set of fiberglass fenders and bumpers made by Mitcom, that made a 914 look a little more “Porsche-like” than the original 914. Here is a link to a picture of a nice one.

Includes:
Front and Rear fiberglass bumpers (with Mitcom provided steel mounting brackets)
Front and rear spacer panels above bumpers
Front and rear fenders
Porsche branded reflector panel (broken on one end, but all pieces are present)
All templates (42x72” paper templates to guide cutting stock fenders)
Turn signal and side marker lights
Cable trunk release kit
Instruction booklet, serial number plate and owners certificate

I've had it stored since 1984 when it was new. It's time to get it somewhere where it will get used. I need to give up on the idea that I will ever get this done.

Price: $700 OBO. I live in Indianapolis, IN. Local pickup is strongly encouraged, almost to the point of mandatory. I'm not an expert at shipping big stuff like this, and it will need to be worth my while to work through all the necessary hoops.

I still have the car which is basically completely taken apart, except the original engine and transmission are still in one piece (and ran, albeit poorly, when removed). They will also be for sale soon.

Thanks for looking,

Dave

You want to sell me that reflector cheap?

Thanks, but for the moment, no. Given that I have everything for the kit, all the way down to the sticker Mitcom used to change their address on the owners card, I don't want to break it up. I'm also interested in getting the square footage as much as the money. So selling one small part doesn't help much. I'd suggest checking back in a few days and asking the person who buys it. ('Cuz, of course it will sell that quickly. )

Dave

If you were closer to FL I would be trying to trade for that..

Now the car for which these parts were destined is up for sale too.
F/S 1970 1.7L 914 "roller" with driveline
Buy them together and save a bunch of time hauling them!
Garold, I know you can see this and want all this stuff! I bet you could get here, pick it up and get home in under 6 hours.

Heres a slightly different version:

Trust me I have thought about it, but I am out of room as I have 5 , yes 5, of these cars plus 1 more I am storing for a friend so I am out of space. Good luck with the sale.

Bump for a new price

PM sent

Bump for an new price

If only you were close enough to make a trade....... Any trips planned to FL?

Hi Byron,

No, I'm afraid I'm not headed any closer than I am now. Even if I were, I don't really have a way to carry it other than renting a truck.

Sorry.

Dave

Do you still have the Chalon kit for sale? and anything else to do this porject.
thanks

Is it missing the rear bumper?

Is this kit still available

If anybody is still looking for this kit (Chalon-II) in the San Francisco/San Jose/Monterey Bay area, I still have mine in their original 3 large cartons. I purchased it October 2006, and it has been sitting in my garage for the past 12-years. Still have original receipt when purchased by a Nevada Body Shop from Tweeks, Long Beach, CA, March 1996 for $2,369! Realize I'm way too old, and don't have the time to put this kit on any more. No pictures of the parts yet, as I need to clear a path in my garage to get to it, unpack it, and take the photos. If serious, I can unpack and take photos.

I also have a complete kit

I also have a complete kit

I guess there's no longer the attraction or market for these kits. How long have you had yours? And as said at the beginning of this post, is it time to turn these parts into garden planters???

Do you would willing to sell front bumper only?

THanks

KOUB

If Byron doesn't want to sell front bumper from his kit, I have one that may work for you.

I will give you $250.00 and pick up in Indiana in 2 weeks. David.

Its worth 400 for wall art!

What is your lowest cash price? David.

Man I wanted one of these so bad in about late 80's or maybe early 90's. Now I just like the factory stock or GT look. Oh how times change.

It sure would be fun to find a ratted body to put one of these on. Hard to believe these haven't moved at this price. Borderline insanity. I'd be on it if it wasn't a drive to Indy and if I had a place to store the parts.

You would think someone with a Chalon would pick it up for spare parts.

My oldest son and I are working on turning this:

It was/is a solid car with four trashed fenders. It had pounds of bondo all over the fenders.


Into something like this:

Ours will be Mexico or Rivera Blue.

I would pick this kit up is it were closer to AZ.

Funny all the comments. The simple truth: It was a very narrow time and nobody wants it now. Especially when our cars are increasing in value if they look more original. The cheesy body junk devalues them hard.

That looks like a perfect candidate for that kit. Just do it!

I will give you $250.00 in cash and pick up in 2 weeks. If your answer is no, thats OK, I need to know in a reasonable time/1 week. David.

I have never figured out how this is cool/desirable:

Now, I get it that a lot or even most Chalon kits were not well executed and most of them look like crap because they have wheels and tires that are way too small for the fender openings but that is just poor execution, it is not poor design or poor looks for the kit.

I realize that I am not going to change the minds of the hard core haters but the haters are not going to diminish my admiration for a well done Chalon.

@Rand thats Mike Couch's Chalon, with a repaint..
@ DanRoots ..Buddy

OMG. . . . somebody just but this thing. What a steal!

Aprox shipping to CA???

Last Active 15th March 2014 - 10:30 PM

@Jetrey67

Is your friend looking for an unbuilt kit, or a Chalon-converted 914? I have a daily driver Chalon I'm looking to sell soon in San Jose, CA.

-Carl

He has (2) 914 bodies and wanted kit, he also has a driver, stock body with chevy engine. But I will let him know, he is near modesto.
