Hello All,
I need a little help here. What the heck is an Outlaw? I have seen people talk about them and refer to them, but what's the story? I read an article a few years ago in VW&P about Outlaws, but all I remember is that they were tweaked cars, with funky paint. Oh yeah, and that red horse on the fender somewhere too. Any insight on this would be appreciated. - Joe |

an outlaw is pretty much any mod done to the car that would make a cw shudder!

Primarily used when describing non-concourse-weenie 356's that have the bumpers removed, and other non-stock, non-factory equipment.
The original "Outlaws" were hot-roders driving around without fenders or bumpers. This was illegal, hence the term. MikeZ's 356 is an outlaw in part due to: 1) flared fenders 2) no bumpers 3) non-stock engine 4) late wheels 5) bunny ears IMHO the outlaws are infinitely better looking than the stock 356 with it's excuse-me-while-I-thow-up bumpers. I love a nice outlaw 356, like the one below. (pardon my drool) Attached image(s) |

QUOTE(tryan @ May 21 2003, 02:10 PM) the black one gives me a woodie. where's the bunny ears? The picture I posted isn't Mikes car. It's just a picture of an outlaw I had handy. Mike Z is known for many things including wearing bunny ears on his helmet at driving events. I do not know the history behind this tradition. -Ben M. |

Some people are old enough to remember when the red winged horse was the logo for Mobilgas. I think it was often on race cars in the 50's-60's like Marlboro/Interstate Batteries now days.

Does this Outlaw designation apply only to 356s? If not then, what would constitute an Outlaw 914 (if you could call it that)?

Geoff, I remember Flying A as an "A" with wings. I think the horse was mobil, featured prominently in the Mobil Economy Run.

I agree with Jim, but I am too young to know from "being there".

Joe, you might have seen the "Outlaw" car from www.partsobsolete.com in an old issue of VW&P. They do alot of Outlaw cars. They also make 4cyl 911 motors (cut the 2 center cyl out and fab the rest). check out there website, they make 2 different style 911-4 motors, a 1.5 liter & a 2.4 liter. I don't even want know the price. $$$$$$

Here's the crazy English guy with too many tools and too many ideas in his head.
This guy is one hell of a fabricator though! http://www.v8914.com/ Regards, |

I don't know if I'd ever classify any 914 as an outlaw. Modifying them is really so commonplace and accepted that you don't have this CW 914 contingent going, "Oh my god, you put 930 flares on the car. How could you do that? You just ruined a $20,000 car! Put those side marker warts back on this instant. How dare you perform such a sacrilege to the perfect lines of such a vintage Porsche. You what? You're gonna race that car? Over my dead body. Leave it in the vacuum-sealed container it was meant to be left in, you heretic, you fool."
