"Custom 1973 Porsche 914 This is without a doubt the coolest 914 custom job I have ever seen."
Are you kidding? 
Looks like a cross between a vet and a 914.

Remove the sail panel crap and it might be a good project.

Drop a gallon of thinner and a match on it....

Except uglier.

Got kind of a Lotus thing happening around the edges. That extra body mass through the sail panel make the car look tiny, kind of short/awkward in the way that some of the Abarths did.
Of course, I'm spending way too much time and effort commenting on this bad dog, aren't I?

"Looks like a 911" 
What 911?
Posted by: ninefourteener Dec 29 2004, 09:26 AM
Why do we always beat around the bush on these matters??
How about: "It's a flaming piece of shit. If I ever saw anyone actually driving it, I would drop to my knees in uncontrollable laughter"
C'mon!?!? It looks like a 911?? Engine is clean?? Mostly clean interior??
Posted by: URY914 Dec 29 2004, 09:48 AM
Is this a problem?

I think he meant the car looks like in was on the ground floor in NY during 9-11. Because it doesnt look anything like a Porsche 911 at all. What a POS. I'm sorry, I dont see anything good on that car at all.

So how much you going to bid on it Scott?
Gotcha
Posted by: skline Dec 29 2004, 10:19 AM
I wouldnt buy that car. It would take 100k to bring it back to original. And even after that, it would only be worth about 5 to 6k. That car is a money pit from the word go.

Or Corona.
I wonder how many clowns would pile out of that car if it pulled up in front of my house?
Posted by: URY914 Dec 29 2004, 10:43 AM
If those are real Centerline wheels and if thier "8 wide, it would be the only thing on the car at is worth a damn.
I'll bid $79.00.

I admit it. I saw this thread, and I thought to myself "here we go ripping the shit out of some poor slobs ebay car". I clicked on the link, saw the car and thought "it's not my deal, but it is not THAT bad". Then I scrolled down through the rest of the pictures: 
O. M. G!!!!!!!!!!!
It is hard to pick, but here is my favorite passage:

Is the driver's seatbelt attatched to a piece of conduit??

CUSTOM 1973 PORSCHE 914 - LOOKS LIKE 911 - 912 - 928
All 3 ?!?!?

Someone should email him and ask how the engine runs...and also how's the tranny....

Posted by: type11969 Dec 29 2004, 12:24 PM
has anyone ever sent a link to these "bashing" sessions to the owner of the car being bashed. I think that it could be amusing to hear the responses of this person to some of the points brought up in this thread.
it would probably get pretty ugly though.
Posted by: Aaron Cox Dec 29 2004, 12:33 PM
remember the low miles 74 that we tore to shreds
Posted by: seanery Dec 29 2004, 12:36 PM
could you imagine doing anything to the engine with those damn bondo pieces in the way
Posted by: Howard Dec 29 2004, 12:55 PM
bid is up to $13.04
Don't let this slip away!

Kinda Europa influence. I bet there is plywood under those sail panels.
Posted by: serge914 Dec 29 2004, 03:10 PM
Blocked engine grill to improve cooling.
But wait it has brand new euro flasher lens and blue rear coils springs.

The sellers joking right? I think some simtex would finish that poor car off.
Posted by: Rhodes71/914 Dec 29 2004, 04:41 PM
Glad they left it on the jackstand, really makes it look good.

The owner couldn't decide if They wanted it to be a new Chevy Avalanche or a stay a 914.
Looks 100% nothing like described.
Good for a sawzall party?
Posted by: smooth_eddy Dec 29 2004, 10:15 PM
I like the "minor blemishes" on the spoiler. Also, it says "all parts in perfect working order". Wonder which parts even work. And how about the leather seats? Are they impressive or what? Someone send this link to the seller. 
Posted by: Elliot Cannon Dec 29 2004, 10:31 PM
I want this car very badly so I can find who did these things to it and smack the.....

Posted by: pete-stevers Dec 29 2004, 10:51 PM
lets try to look on the positive side.... it could be used for target pratice... how about a stationary 914 shoot....charge five bucks a shot... all proceeds to the club...after enviromental clean-up from all the bondo chips.... 
Posted by: aircooledboy Dec 30 2004, 12:05 PM
I got to thinking maybe Howard was right. Maybe this was all a joke and we just missed it in our rush to mock the guy. 
BUT: Now the car is up to over $1000, and the reserve still is not met. Not only does this guy actually think the car is valuable, he has convinced others too.
Posted by: restore2seater Dec 30 2004, 12:28 PM
I tend to think that this must be a joke. If it isn't maybe I should put that blue rusted hulk sitting on jackstands in my garage on ebay.
Posted by: Brando Dec 30 2004, 07:43 PM
I still think this car would make a perfect...

It looks like the same car and same house, but a different seller???
Posted by: scooter311 Jan 8 2005, 11:33 AM
Ooooog I just barfed up everything I ate since like, 9th grade (mostly redhots and corndogs)
I think this horrible, horrible abomination and waste of time, money, and taste is actually a body kit of some sort. I have a pic I'm trying to post of one I saw on ebay a long time ago - lessee if this works.... If it does, try not to hurl on your keyboards...
Ooowww my eyes my eyes it burns it burns
