I’m working on getting the VIN from the museum.

Not bad….interesting ideas

So the Vette is actually a 914?

Sorta, that story was covered here some time ago ...

There's some 914 under there somewhere. The story

More info and photos on my page here, last car on the list: https://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/Exceptional914s.htm

Neat history on the 914/Vette. Weird, but neat.

That's an A6 compressor. A rolling turd that weighs 30+ pounds!
It's notable that it does not have a belt on it.
Probably didn't matter. Those didn't work very well back then even on R12.
Front seals were absolute trash...

I didn't know Corvette and 914 could be used together?

thanks for the pics @krazykonrad

always been interested in that vette project.
sweet bit of USA car design from a golden age.
love the windscreen with the visible fold.
(though i bet it causes some distortion right where you don't want it. )

think these projects (there was another one as well) were all intended to have the GM rotary engine then under development. this one would have got the smaller engine and the other prototype from around the same time would have had the big engine ( 4 rotor? ).

I got in touch with Tom Falconer, the chap who helped rescue this car, and he said the following:

"It never had a GM viN , just Gm experimental engineering numbers. There was no trace of any Vw or Porsche numbers. It was the underbody shortened and widened. With 914 brakes , steering and suspension."

And he sent me this photo from when Octane magazine did an article on the car in Feb 2018.

The black trim at the bottom of the windshield is pretty wide. I wonder if the 914 VIN is still under there?

The legal vin is the one in the right front shock tower. If they used the complete inner fender assembly, it should be there.

Am i the only one here who thinks that car doesn't look half bad?

Probably lol.

Kidding. It does look ok

Meh...

But you can see where they got the front end design for the Chevy Monza.
