Today work has begun on the 914World exclusive "914 Limousine" project!

After years of tossing the idea around, McMark, RobW and i decided a few weeks back that it was time that someone actually build such a monstrosity.

RobW had a bare shell with front end damage so all we needed was another donor to make the front of the Limo.

I bought a '75 roller from Chris Hamilton and Rob and i went to pick it up this morning.

Once at McMark's shop in Sonoma, we started stripping the car, built a second dolly to be able to roll the shell around and started to cut off the rear of the white car and the front of the red car.

Both cuts are rough cuts at this point. Next weekend, we'll start with the more detailed cutting and test fitting.

The final result will be a 4-door, 4 (maybe 5) seater with at least one removable top (maybe two) and all the usual bling one would find in a Limousine.

The paint has yet to be determined but we are leaning towards a certain Porsche period correct 98 color. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

CURRENT STATUS:

- We sourced a 2.7L /6 engine and added a aftermarket bulkhead mount ...

Hey SirAndy,

What a totally CRAZY Idea.....I love it!

For my 2-cents: I would suggest a Chevy conversion with a stock motor (cheap)with lots of torque. Secondly, I wonder what you will do to stengthen the chassis. The stock one is a Flexy-Flier to start with, only remedied with a full rollcage.

Regardless how you do it, please give us all the treat of watching it come along!

Thanks for being a WILD-MAN 914 fanatic,

Terry

Is there a blueprint plan for this build, or are you just building by trial?

We've got two levels and a tape-measure. Does that count? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Schedule another limo work-party (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I am in the middle of a move, need to find a new rental in Marin, and have 914 parts to donate. Good weather this Saturday means final PCA AX for me, but bad weather and I would join youz guyz indoors and bring parts.
That motor rocks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
