Someone posted this recently of a 914. Before you say that is not a 914, it has a 914 Vin! My nomination!

It's really hard to pick a winner here. They're all losers!

Jeff’s car pick is the one.
It has all the wrong stuff and way too much of it. If I saw that on the street I would puke of end up in the hospital laughing.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm5.staticflickr.com-20876-1545326710.2.jpg) The first two appear to be high quality work. If at a car show, I'd be looking at them in more detail. I'd certainly do some things differently, but that is true of any custom or modified car. |

I vote for Jeff’s. So hideous that it actually made me laugh.
I agree with George that it is always amazing to me that these cars take serious money and time and conscious effort to build. Is there no point in the process where the light comes on and people go “WTF am I doing?!?!” No accounting for taste |

Well Jeff's car has a blower, six extra exhaust pipes, the oh so groovy interior treatment, the rear brake venting, the extra special go-cart steering wheel, the great panel fit, the hand hammered shift knob, the race-proven wing, the extra wide extra good seat belts and the Lord Pompidou dancing horse crests.
The green monster not to be outdone has the paper thin gullwing doors, fantastic front cabin ventilation air intake system, the tower of power engine cover (extra points for the "fear this" decal) the chevy power emblem, the equally exceptional panel fit, the JC Whitney Mercedes grill kit and the Triumph TR3 hood hinges. I'm going to award a full 10 points to Jeff's car for excellence in automotive redesign and only 9.5 points to the green monster. Maybe if the green monster driver wears the Ronald McDonald driving shoes and gloves I can find another .5 for yet another perfect score. |

Yea, +1 on the yellow one Jeff posted. The interior is only missing a pimp from 1974, and the shift knob looks like a wad of aluminum foil. Add a fake blower and all the extras and it's hard to miss the ugly that's been smacked on that one.

The first car wouldn't be so atrocious if it didn't have the Chrysler front clip, ewwww.
Too bad on the 9014 abomination, (baseball announcer voice) "swing and a miss". The silver one is really quite bad, unless you really need 4 headlights. The the big air catcher on the trunk was a no bueno too. I love 904's so it kinda hurts. |
