"Turns head."

No doubt.

Among 'Porsche guys,' it turns stomachs.

You know, it almost looks like that car they converted at the end of "Animal House". All it needs is the turret!

Tough to draw conclusions on the track capabilities of a 914 based on a simple ad with pictures and no specs provided on suspension, brakes, engine, etc. A 283 CI V8...this car might put out 190hp or 300hp. Without specs or dyno, we don't know. The most important factor is chassis condition here. How much rust is hiding under this beast? Not sure if this car is track ready....

Sorry. The most important factor is it's ugly as hell, at any speed.

At least they did the fitting well. All the gaps looks spot on!

I wonder why they are "hiding" the car next to it? "Fixing up" stolen cars!?

Yep, the two biggest issues with these "beast" how much rust and does it over heat, then add the fact that priced at $6,500, most likely no real susp upgrades or brake upgrades have been down, most of the budget after the conversion kit was the body kit.
