Sorry no pics but I saw a trike with the back end and power unit from a Fiero. It was completly Fiero starting from lack of better term targa bar back. Has anyone seen a 914 done as a trike this way.

yes, do a search here, a few people have posted pictures of these before...talk about a mechanical monstrosity

Just something you don't expect to see in VA.

I think Jeff Bowlsby has a picture on his Rennlist website.

Here is the 914 version...

How do they shift these monsters? That's gotta be tricky.

I think there is another one.

Green maybe.

I don't think shifting would be that bad, steering on the otherhand that woud be a nightmare. My best friend has a Harley V-rod that he had coverted to a trike, he loves it but said the handleing is a bit on the squirelly side due to all the weight being on the back wheels. These things would be way worse.

I dont know about a green one, but I come across this one last year..

those fenders look stretched.....

The green one (from ebay)

Lemme see if I got this straight. Ya cut off the rest of the car and leave the hell hole?

these 914's have had more radical nose surgury than that jackson guy/gal.

bench seat, three seat, and single seat 914 trikes, any more out there?

way cool way to have a bike, and a 914. Guess it is good use of a car wrecked in the front (and having the engine not in the front) Most cars get wrecked in the front and there goes the motor, not in the case of the fine 914, which can re-live after a fatal front end wreck as a motor trike.

These trikes may not be everyones cup o' tea, however you cannot agure agianst the inginutiy and talent that goes into these conversions (or resurections as the case may be).
I rather have my 914 end up with three wheels, but still be driven and cleaned, than have my 914 rust away, or be crush with all four wheels.

Haven't we seen some ads recently for cars for parting due to front end damage? do i smell a resurection here???

I believe it was in VW trends or Hot VW's or some mag like that i saw a photo of a 914 pick em up truck. looked good, seemed functional.


I frankly gave up my trike at an early age.
