Outlaw 914s, Show your "Outlaw" rides Options

[stevegm]

Since we all know that there are some awesome "Outlaw 914s" represented on 914world, I thought it might be cool to start a thread. Show us your "Outlaw" rides.

I don't know. That was one of the reasons I posted the thread - to see what you all consider an "outlaw." Emory Motorsports has been doing "Outlaw" Porsches since the 80s. There's are often sleepers. Magnus clearly has a different style than that. I would define an outlaw as a street-legal race car. Full performance, within the boundary of still needing to be street legal. Maybe someone eel will weigh in with a definition.

Well I'll volonteer mine for judging then. It's a '74 2.0 ex California car now living with me in Sweden.
It's been fully torn down and rebuilt over the last 2½ years. For me its like trying to make a 914 inspired by my favorite Porsche,
the 964 RS, by loosing a bit of weight, firming up the suspension, better brakes and adding a touch more hp while retaining
most of the original looks.

Chassis has been reinforced, new suspension bushings, new shocks, five bolt conversion, front and rear trunk lids and bumpers in fibre glass, engine gets ITB's
and modern fuel injection as a first stage while later building a stroker engine aiming for 150hp.

so....first question...what makes an "outlaw 914?" ?

Usually tasteful modifications* to a nice car that irk purists (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My opinion:

Stock width GT flares are not "outlaw"

GT flares that are a few inches wider than stock is "outlaw"

Switching over to European markers are not "outlaw"

Adding RS tail lights is "outlaw"

google "356 outlaw" most that come up right away is what I'd consider outlaw, not sure I've seen too many 914s that fill the bill.

I see no reason a narrow bodied car cannot be an outlaw...I guess I meant a GT clone/replica car isn't really an outlaw in my book unless modified

It is "borderline" street legal.
It has brake lights, insurance, & tags. - That's it.

I second this! But I do wonder how anyone fits under the chopped top with any comfort!

I don’t know if 914/4s are collectible enough to be an outlaw. The big point of the 356 outlaw movement is that owners are seriously jeopardizing the investment value of their cars, and then spending large amounts of money to modify them.

To be an outlaw in the 911 world means you would be joining the R Gruppe. And R Gruppe has a lot of parallels to the DKP VW Club. Most of the R Gruppe cars would not be that hard to return to stock, unlike the 356 outlaw crowd.

To be an outlaw in the 914 world, you would probably have to start with a /6. Unlike 356s, and Long Hood 911s most of the Porsche world doesn’t really care what you do to a /4, weather it is a Chevy V8, Subaru, or flares that would make a 70s IMSA fan envious…

amazingly clean car.. simply wow!

[gereed75]

I think that the outlaw definition is more along the lines of "concours correctness be dammed, here is my quick, politically incorrect, boy racer hotrod".

I don't think the car's value is that relevant. It is just co-incidence that the R Gruppe guys cars are up in price. 356 outlaws were in existence long before 356's became super valuable. Hot rod outlaws from the 40's were not relevant to price, nor were "bobber" bikes, but I would call them all prototypical "outlaws".

This is a cool car by the way that came up in that pinterest link.... http://porsche914.fr-bb.com/t2174-porsche-...rs-presentation .....Don't love the graphics but nice teener and fairly "outlaw".

I think what I really like about the 914 crowd is that they don't obsess over things like whether or not their car is an 'outlaw.' It's either 'on jackstands' or it's not. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
