Is this guy on crack, or what?!?!?!

Read the descriptions all the way through. In my clinic, I would diagnose this guy with a delusional disorder. And, whoever did the body work on this car should be locked away. When you see this thing, try to imagine doing anything in the engine bay

Oh, come on....give the guy a break.

It really does look "exactly" like a 911 and the ECU matches the engine too. What more can you ask for? A little more bondo and it will even weigh as much as a 911 (lol).

There is some bad acid going around. Guys let me tell you acid isn't brown. So stay away from the brown acid.

Looks like a square back Pinto.

Thats pretty funny. I like the front bumper rendition of the GT2. Its obviously the car of a broke ass autobody guy... The shapes aren't too bad, its the rest of the car thats majorly lacking.

Although i am supprised there isn't an american motor in it already.

The engine appears to be a 1.7, not a 1.8...

I got gassy after looking at those SAIL panels.

Seriously, if it were just the flares and front bumper, it wouldn't be half bad I guess.

Like a 911?

Oi, somebody get me a seltzer.

That's one of the most hideous monstrosities I've ever laid eyes upon. I think even those who don't believe in God should pray for that guy. I mean seriously...what in the holy hell is wrong with that guy?!?!

I feel like this might have happened for a reason though. Let's just say Maybe anyone who plans on doing something stupid to their car should discuss it here now and get it out of there system. Don't worry, noone will judge you, unless it's really stupid, but better to be make a fool out of yourself here, than out in public when I see you and start bagging on the sheer automotive blasphemy you have committed... Damn!

So, Jason, tell us how you really feel about this.... Hope I never accidently cut you off in traffic!

I have to say, though, I agree

Thanks all for a most entertaining read. Never laughed so loud over a thread before. Must be the time of the night.

"The interior needs door panels and could use a little attention but it's pretty clean overall."

What door panels? Pretty clean interior, after replacing the seats, carpet, cracked dash, steering wheel, and back pad, real clean. I also like the way he painted over the Porsche letters on the engine lid, looks pro.

There isn't much there, no five bolt conversion, a ratty car in general. I could see cutting the ridiculous sail panels off and making a race car out of it. The front end would be fine with me. By the time you sold the injection to the purists and got a couple hundred for the wheels, you could pay for what I feel it's worth.

Wonder what the reserve was?

More scary, perhaps, is that the thing got over $1000 in bids... why? Were they Hypnotized the power of suggestion?

It looks just like a 911, exactly like a 911, and when I count back from 10, you will believe that it really IS a 911... 10, 9, 8... see, doesn't that feel better? A real, clean, 911 with just a couple minor dings. Life is good

I found that thing on eBay earlier and cracked up at the description. Looks like a 911 to me.

Brother Jason I Confess I sometimes dream of bastardizing a 914..

It's like this Brother Jason
..sometimes, in a weak moment ,when I'm off my medication, I too have impure thoughts about teen err..914s (For a moment there I thought I was a catholic priest!)

I imagine jackin' the whole thing up two feet and puttin on 6 foot diameter mud-boggin wheels. These would be offset by tastefully done wheel covers ; the type that keep spinning even while I'm sittin still in line over at The Main Drag Liquor Store's drive thru.

The paint job would be subtle yet make a statement; your basic red metalflake with the ever popular "stars and bars" motif ala General Lee.

Power would come from a John Deere 4-banger tweaked by Jake to produce enough torque to pull a humvee out'ta quicksand.

The interior would be done in camofloge burlap with lepoardskin accents. The seats would be real buckets fastened to the floor with duct tape ..

Ohh what a special car this would be!
I bet I could get 100 grand for it on Ebay!
