Functional engine : 4.5 NA $90K 5.4 Turbo $180K

I'm betting he got his numbers mixed up and meant a 912.

[Hawkney911]

Maybe it is a 917 lazer kit car. More likely than a real 917.

I'd be very surprised if there was a 917 unaccounted for.

[Hawkney911]

ok guys break my dreams

[Henry Schmidt]

4 lug wheels suggests that your looking at a VW chassis with a body kit.

Projects like this one could cost huge sums to finish nicely but if you like it, go for it.
Remeber, that this car could be $10,000 away from being a $5000 car.

[Hawkney911]

oh well it was exciting while it lasted i think id rather drop the 10 grand into a nother 911 thanks for the help guys

[1978targasc]

Better luck next time Hawkney...

[Dave at Pelican Parts]

It's a Laser kit-car. I've seen a few, and pictures of a few more. A 917-esque body on a Bug floorpan and mechanicals.

--DD

[Scott at Pelican Parts]

Good thing it's not real. A proper engine would have set you back about $400,000 !

[jaydubya]

My girlfriend, who was looking over my shoulder while I looked a the photos that were just posted, said, "Is that kit car??"

Keep in mind she knows nothing about cars

[Hawkney911]

i didnt have photos when i posted

[cstreit]

I don't know about you guys, but even though I assumed after reading his first post that it was a Lazer kit, there was a teeny-tiny little part of me that said "Damn, what if there really is some "in the barn 917" that no one knows about for some ridiculous price and IT'S NOT ME finding it."

Good choice, IMO.
