I'm just going to file this one under strange....

Description:
This is a Mercedes GTR kit car. It originally came from Florida and has been sitting in a climate controlled storage facility for the past seven years. Overall it’s in great shape. Lots of upgrades. The engine is located in the back. It is a 350 Chevy (mildly built) with an aluminum intake, high performance Eldibroch carburetor. This runs great. The transmission appears to be a Porsche four speed manual with independent suspension. The clutch is in great shape. Heater, headlights, etc all work. Brand new $150.00 battery. Does need a little TLC, like minor brake work from sitting. No rust! Solid steel floors. This was taken in as an owed payment and I have no space for it. Come with a bill of sale. Open to offers.

Yikes! This can only be brought out on Halloween.

Wtf.. That's all I can say..

So you owed someone money and they made you take this to clear your debt? confused24.gif

I would rather pay the debt biggrin.gif

It looks like it's from a bad movie from the 70s. I'f the scoops were removed then painted black it might be okay for Halloween. Oy!

I wasn't aware the circus was in town! Someone's dream becomes a nightmare. This abomination has been around for a while.

That would be SO cool for a 24 Hours of Lemons car!!! first.gif

Okay, so it carries a 914/4 VIN tag. Is that the only 914 part on the car? I can see nothing else that suggests a 914.
As for Mercedes Benz, is the grille the only M-B part. I think you mean Edelbrock, but you could be right and it is another twist on parts.

This one managed to go SO far to the ugly side... that it is beautiful. I can't stop staring at it.... like a car wreck.

That Chevy badge on the rear did it for me, personally.

Amazing! That makes ugly look good!

And I thought the Citroen Ami was visually challenged, I may have to reevaluate.

Seriously - how drunk (or high) was the OP when they accepted that as payment?

Why does the engine sit so high? Is it just my imagination?

If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything.....so I am going to shut up.

Initially looked like a death trap but then I saw the dual drivers side side-mirrors. thumb3d.gif

I gotta agree with my wife (and not just because she is my wife whip[1].gif)

This would make a GREAT Lemons car. Maybe we should plaster it with 914World Racing logos and have at it.

I don't own the Green Machine, just saw it for sale and was sharing. I love Benz's and I love 914's, but together not so much.

I don't know what it is, but if I saw it on a toilet seat, I wouldn't sit on it.

I would paint or vinyl the front end like a P-38 and drive the hell out of it.

Funny thing is this car makes the Laser 917 kit car look good.

I would love to have a Lazer 917 and drive it to a PCA event.

Why does it have hood scopes in the front and the back?

Do the car some justice , please park it outside

And why does the rear scoop tower have side windows? dry.gif huh.gif I would blacken those out.

So you can see what your going to be fearing. confused24.gif

I would get rid of the from hood, put an exit scoop out of it, pickup so air flow there.

Redo the rear engine cover to make it a bit more smooth, and drop an LS (pick your number or letter here). And then paint it silver, and take it to Lemons.

That pedal assembly looks sketch, so I am guessing the rest of the engineering is of equal quality.

I am guessing the thing also will handle like the pig it is.
