Nice looking car built by Patrick Motorsports for sale....reminds me of Rob Dickinson's work with the Singer 911. Not cheap.....$125K.

Great looking car! The seat are too high or too big though.

$125. Reserve Not Met.




I have seen this car in person. It is truly exceptionally nice. Top quality all the way.

Being that today is MLK day. . . . . I have a dream . . . that whoever ultimately purchases this car will actually drive it. . . . at it's potential.

hmmm, I wonder if he'd swap out the fugly 916 bumpers for some nice chrome bumpers?

Car must be a blast to drive! I love the interior.

Great build. I'd like to see more pics of the other details on the car.

nicely done rollcage, I like how it goes into the dash and hugs the a-pillars

125K and they didnt bother getting a NICE front bumper... They custom fit the sides really well, but Damn it if they didnt get the pug nose bumper.

Just saw this car a couple weeks ago. To bad my fat could not fit in those seats....

Beautiful. Except.....
Change the seats, way too big and bulky.
916 bumpers ? no thanks.
Love to see the AC compressor install. Dash / evap. looks very good
No time wasted on muffler hangars.
Love the roof.

Wouldn't be much of a 916 tribute without 916 bumpers

Top notch build. The hard top looks so nice on a 914.

Anyone else having a problem with the 17" wheels?

I'll take those 17"s

IMO, the 17's look good on this 914 build......similar look to the Singer.

Not a fan of late model seats in early cars as nice as they are...Singer makes a nice retro sport seat that look really good...

...

There is allot going on here...hidden and integrated so well. I am also not a fan of the over sized, modern seats but I really (really!) like the integrated roll bar - on a hot-rod scale! This is simply a hot rod - nothing else so there are no real right or wrongs here - just whims of the original customer who stroked the check. I'd change things but very little and the quality that PM puts out is almost hard to compare/compete against. Odd the last picture they show in the listing has a fat-ass man bending over talking to the driver - not so subtle "subliminal" message? i now - not nice.

PS: The wheels, on this type of build, suit me just fine.

Why does the lower dash portion not have the vents? Is this a very early style lower dash or is it modified?

I really like how clean the lower dash looks without the vent holes and am thinking about attempting that in my car.

It looks to me like they left off the lower dash pad and substituted the a/c unit.

Almost looks like the whole facia is a one off affair. The silver over red is striking, but the seats and door cards? Not so much.

I would guess that the late style lower dash vents wouldn't work with the roll cage bar coming down right where the back of the vents would be.

I agree. I think a 914 or 911 style seat would look better, especially with red trim or stitching. Would contrast nicely with the red dash and door panels.

Building a 916 clone without 916 bumpers would be kinda like building a 914-6 clone but keeping it a -4.

Check out there web site and look under projects. Nice pictures of the build. You will notice a hole in the firewall for the compressor. This will most likely reduce seat travel for tall drivers. And yes it would no longer be a 916 tribute if you change the bumpers.
