The only thing I see out of place is the use of a nose shift (911/912 configured) transmission? Why not use a 914 box? Easier, already set for rear configuration? This is a nit pick mainly I would see. The rest is amazing

Looks suspiciously like a T1 or T2 tranny, Doc.

I agree it is an amazing accomplishment.

I do not think I could spend that kind of money on a non brand car. Would I be missing an awesome opportunity?

I ask this because I have been looking for that special investment ride in that price range, give or take $20-$30K. I figure it will take me a few years to pull the trigger, fearful that as soon as I buy something, the perfect car will pop up.

I just believe $90,000 still buys a lot of car. (It almost buys a nice 72 911S )

You would have the only one at the car shows.

Seems like a lot of money for a strange looking car with a single barrel carb (beetle?) engine...

Seems like a stretch to market it as a 356 too, since the parts listed are mostly VW parts...

The flat sides and exposed welds kill it for me.
If he had conveyed the side it would have given it much better lines IMHO...
Flat floppy side which I bet rattles like crazy at speed from the wind.

My wife thinks it's bad enough I bought a few two-seater cars ... she'd think I'd really flipped if I brought a single-seater home

I think I'd let the Blastolene boys give it a whirl and see what they'd come up with!

....What a novelty....

Chopping the top always looks like fun to me.... but I agree about the "flat sides".

Might have looked a lot better.

There's a build thread over on the Samba...

Just saw the cars in the raw a couple weeks ago at a PCA event in the metro.

All things considered it has a distinct hint of the front end of the 919 Hybrid that just ran in the 24 Hours of LeMans. You would think the new LMP1 car would have such an aerodynamic front but?????? The more things change the more they stay the same???
The Audi and the Toyota looked along the same lines.

Just saying?

I don't believe a single stock carb on a stock intake manifold will support 125HP. Not gonna happen. That's more than double the stock HP with only 20% more displacement.

I know some serious body guys who could do better than that with both hands behind their back, blindfolded ........................................ The dents and creases on the left flank are disturbing, to say the least. I'm not buying "art" as an excuse for poor body work.

Steve Hogue, here in Torrance, built a buck and can build you a new Glockler. Gonna cost a bit more than this guy's asking though

Beutiful P-51 in the photos. Belongs to the collings foundation. Worth I'd say about $2,000,000. You can buy a ride in it for I think about $2500.

Now THAT would be a ride!!
