911 Concept car for sale
I am all about sharing, if I am not mistaken this was Butzies concept hack before introducing the G-model.:
Porsche 911 Carrera Concept Car - 1973 For those of you not well versed in Dutch the main facts: 1. it is a "concept" 2. it runs a Ford GHIA(?) motor 3. it is a "concept" 4. It needs some TLC 5. It is a "concept" 6. It was made in Ireland A serious amount of Lager was used to build this "concept". Where is the Playa when you need him. Michel

Maybe an old shell that someone "retrofitted"...
Notice the fuel filler on the right side |

It's most likely a Covin. Made in England and later Ireland.

I do not think it is Covin.
The auction house says it was made in 1973, so that is too early for Covin. I also think the shell is legitimate Porsche in part and not GRP....

There was one for sale in SC about a month or two ago. It was just a rolling shell if I remember correctly. I think the guy wanted about $3200 or something.
I'd say if you were a vw guy and wanted to build a 912 of sorts, put a raby type4 in it...it could be cool. Obviously this is kind of thing is about the level of craftsmanship one has, and the knowledge to build a whole car. The bodies were completely fiberglass, so it would have a significant weight advantage to some other projects. Agreed that the car above is a terrible travesty, and the perfect example of what you don't want to end up with when complete.
