Check out 914 on Ebay:

No description of motor or pictures.

Woah!

Says 914-6 2.0L motor.

Lose the fin and maybe I would hate it less.

Funky VIN.....other wordly.....

Why did they not buy an old Toyota Supra from the 90's ??

Lots of different design elements.

Looks like a Ferrari 355 front end with early Testarossa high side mirrors.

Ferrari F40 NACA duct (scoop) and wing

When I see things like this I often wonder why someone would throw a ton of money at such a hideous project. Somehow free will is involved but I can't understand the thought process. The bodywork obviously took some time and money. During that process didn't anyone take the owner aside (like behind a dumpster) and explain things to them?

Point of order: it sure as hell isn't a GT car despite what the license plate claims.

I have to admit I do like the paint job, but how the hell does the engine breathe?

Nice Fiero

I'll take the seats... Someone else can have the rest...

I think I saw this at Hershey Swap last year in the car corral? It Looked good but my problem with it was, to me a stock 914 looks better, and for the money to build it imagine what you could have if you put it into a good restoration of a LE car.

Yes it was at Hershey last year for sale at 25k. Owner said it was an original 6 car but vin doesn't back that up, neither does being a 1975.

I don't recall it being at Hershey last year - guess my mind has shut out those bad memories, or I'm just getting old and forgetful...

It was there.

To me, this falls into the category of well if you're gonna make some
one-off wacky car then you better be prepared to keep it or eat it because
probably no one will think it's as valuable as you do.

was there with a big FO Sale sign on it. I think Joe Sayre posted pics of it

Please don't get me wrong, I have no doubts it was there, just trying to figure out how I could have overlooked this, this, aaah, car?

I like the wheels.

If that is a Porsche vin it's gotta be a 356 very late A or very early B.

It has some nice parts on it....seats, steering wheel, Getty dash, rims, MAYBE a good motor

But I just figured out that the rear deck louvers are likely from a 1980's Camaro/Firebird.

I bet the owner has a hairy chest and gold chains too...

Hate it.

The 3rd tail-lite holder is so F40,tho the wing is the thing.
The front view is tolerable,similar to the 911 slope.
The cumulative effect of additions without improvements in power is a heavier car.
With a minor reshaping it would have more appeal,the b glass in particular.

My opinion. I see all of the various body kits that have come and gone as lame attempts to "correct" the original design by people that could not appreciate the 914 for what it is. They are fools!

The nature of man,an improving evolutionary change to whatever they see and touch.

“To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.” - Aristotle

Ebay ads states "VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): 197591 "

seller states in an email to me "The body VIN is 4752905768."

Speaker pods with stereo delete.....why do that?

It's a 1975 also, so it's not gonna be a six unless converted.

I wonder if that rear thing comes off....then maybe the next owner could get it slightly back towards normal.

I often ponder myself if I can improve my 2 door sports car by turning it into a hatchback.

I think every kit made offered a different way to make a 914 look hideous, just pick how ugly you wanted. Workmanship looks good, so yeah, just think how nice she could have been with all that time and cash poured on her!

I have seen worse kits on a 914. But still makes me Wonder how hard it would be to remove all that crap and maybe make it into a track car?

What a waste of a great license plate!

Owner should be charged with fraud and forced to give up the plate to a real GT

I'm betting he also own a Fiero lambo kit or is considering one!

That puts the NEIN! in 914

nein! nein! nein! Das ist kein Auto, das ist Scheiße!

Certainly the Bertones are rising in value.

This Alfa Romeo is by Ital Design,has louvres and slats too.Looks very mod even now.

I talked to the guy selling it at the Swap last year and he was an Senior Older Guy?
Not someone you would picture in that car. Probably bought it to flip it for a profit my guess.

Copied from the ad.

No expense spared, best of everything, Fairly priced!!

Seller says engine is a 1970 6 cyl #6404679

I actually think it might look ok if it wernt yellow. A dark silver like that Iguana would give it a better look

Can one of you East coasters go get pics of whatever is under the louvers?

Inquiring minds want to know...

seller emailed these to me... I have no dog in this fight.

I bid 4K on it. Just for the weird factor.

Not my taste, but it's not as bad in person.

Resembles a shopping cart with that wing....
