see the power unit in this 917!
 

That looks weird to me....

Yeah me too it has 36 hp. It struck me as funny to own a 917 replica that did 0-60 in a half minute.

Did you guys read it at all? it's just a 914 with a crappy body kit. I would be embarrassed to even drive it. It's like being surprised the Lambo replica on a Fiero body doesn't have a v12 in it :)

A pile of yellow nastiness.

Interesting "914" chassis with a type 1 engine hanging BEHIND the transaxle........

I grew up with 917 models, slot cars and have my own copy of LeMans on disc, it just struck me funny when i saw the photo of the spent oil soaked VW motor pushing it. It's amazing what some people will get behind the wheel of.

Kinda looks like that car from the OLD tv show....I think it was called a Coyote...? Hard castle & McCormick I think the show was....

Loved that show.
Upon more thinking a good tube bending machine and a salvage Boxster and one could really have something fun. Have to have it painted Gulf blue and on proper finish Fuchs.

I can see the headline, "917K for $17K"

Good call. This is not a 914 either. These cars were built on a VW chassis with Type 1 engines. If they were built on a 914 chassis they would actually be fun to drive. This is a Beetle with a very unreal looking 917 body kit. One of my customers has a red one. It's stupid slow.

I wonder why the seller is so confused


..the Coyote was cool though
