I like the 914 they way the factory designed it,

I guess no so much for some people... idea.gif

Oh No. A Corvette raped a little 914 and this is the result!

A Chrysler Sebring Convertible front end with a Corvette styled rear begs the question, "Why involve a 914?"

Nice use of an old BMW dash, and V8 under glass..lol

While I’m not a fan of the look, I can appreciate the hours and hours of work that went into this.

Not really my style but I will say it looks like a lot of quality work went into it.

did you catch the starting price

Don't get me wrong...a lot of planning and decent work; the gaps are darn good too ! Wonder if the builder had a favorite Johnny Cash song (1976) that he constantly listened to while building this; "I built it one piece at a time " you-tube that if curious av-943.gif

agree.gif too. By no means the worst we have seen. The quality of the work looks pretty impressive. I can't bring myself to criticize it because I wish I had the skills it took to create it. However, if I were to posses those skills, it isn't exactly what I would have done.

Guessing they ran out of money when it came to the door panels.

Other than the door panels, I think the interior is pretty nice.

Looks like it is very confused about what it wants to be when it grows up.

Not my taste.

Hell...more creature comforts, AC, 350 V8, Targa, and some Porsche 914,911 too boot. Just might be a fun ride....

I think the excecution is really nice. Style is a little 90s but it probably look 10 years to build... I'd drive it smile.gif

This car is beautiful and in a race would beat most of us soundly...then we would have to shut up since his car is faster than our cars.....a couple more grand here and there and now you are a rare bird with a super car.....this is thinking out of the box 505....or maybe 11 0 11....look at this car....let's see you make one!! Ha!!

Imagine if this used to be an original 6. I am not sure sure it would be worth it to remove all the ugly even then.

I agree.
rhodyguy
More than a a couple of grand. I think there was a large stack of c-notes, very large, invested in that car. Hate the rear treatment.

That 6 @ $109.5k seems like a lot of money. About 10k less than we paid for our house on an acre of land. WOW! Optimistic.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I give them an A+ for craftsmanship, and barf.gif barf.gif barf.gif barf.gif for design and good taste. I'm not sure why they bothered to badge it as Porsche, I don't see much Porsche left on this car. As for speed, my Honda CRV is faster than my 914, but that doesn't make it beautiful.

I can appreciate all the time and money invested in this car. But somebody should be arrested for this.
If they would only use their hands for good, instead of this.
ClayPerrine
Remember everyone... there is a butt for every seat. You and I may hate the appearance of this car, but someone out there will fall in love with it and show it off to his/her friends.

This is also an example of why you don't want to use ethanol in your 914. It gets the car drunk and it hooks up with a corvette.....

Does that only make the overall effect worse though?

It's 2018 and you all look at this and go yeeechh! I do too. But if it was 1990 and you saw this you would think this was super cool Miami Vice style and would want to go cruising..

I cannot appreciate any time or money spent taking a thing of beauty and destroying it

I just want to know if it comes with a gold chain and custom satin jacket with custom patches?

On the plus side I think I have enough chest hair to drive this thing with my shirt unbuttoned down to my bellybutton smile.gif

This implies that 914 butchery is time intensive. Not true. I have very little time in my car, but it is quite butchered.
dr914@autoatlanta.com
Sir, I stand corrected.

At first I thought this was some sort of bastardized Corvette but then I realized it was a 914 because it says so right on the back of the car.

I just saw the eBay ad and stand corrected. It's not like a Corvette, it takes after a Ferrari.
