[@kurtcocktoasten4592]

A life-long friend of mine "reimagined" a 914 in 2003, LONG before that term was applied to how people now modify a car. He was the first person to engineer a swap of an LS2 Chevrolet V8 into such a road-going vehicle. But the car was a complete redo, not just engine. He swapped in a 911 Turbo transmission, manufactured his own clutch linkage, included 911 Turbo brakes and hollow-spoked wheels, used 911 Turbo rear fender vents to provide cooling, front mounted radiator, wide body kit, etc. He literally would stare at the wall, then close his eyes for a few moments and would then begin to sketch how to make all of this work. Did it work? Holy hannah, did it ever. Not only did the car run a consistent 11.20 quarter mile time @ 125 MPH+, but he ran the car in autocross and performed at speed/agility contests at airports with 0-150-0 runs and turn around (like U-Drags now by Edmunds). He beat 2005 Ford GTs at this event. His work was masterful. It was a brilliant car that he wishes he had not sold.

[@untitled795]

bet it cost him a 3rd of 350k too. Sounds like a blast and an awesome engineer/designer.

[@spdcrzy]

@@untitled795 how much is $100K in 2003 worth now? And how much more expensive are raw materials in general? $350K for this is honestly quite reasonable.

I put a Momo steering wheel, Dellorto carbs, Koni shocks and Pirellis on it. It was basically a go cart. It’s one of the cars that I’ll be buying again one day. I also had a Fiat spider, a first gen VW Scirocco, a 1972 Datsun 240z and a Nissan 240sx growing up. Now I live in Munich Germany and just bought a 2009 Audi A5 3.2 Quattro.

Completely agree. A 914 is a very unique great handling tiny little sportscar. But let’s not forget it is an absolute economy value bare bones bucket that’s horribly designed and constructed from the most minimal materials. Not much more to it than a go kart and likely less reliable. Any pricing for any mod of these over $25k is ridiculous. I wouldn’t pay $10k. Just stupid for those with more money and time than they know what to do with otherwise. Ludicrous.

[@matthewchandler2647]

Sign me up! I’ve had a hate-on for the stampede of high-dollar restomods, but cars like this are just so bloody special. Yes £350k is a lot, but in reality you can’t build an ultra-low production special with all bespoke parts made to precision standards for less. I’m not sure how far this restomod train is going to go, but I think specials like this might be some of the most coveted cars several decades from now

[@lukazupie7220]

Not necessarily, better and cheaper restomods might come.. especially if government will really cancel petrol cars, market for those might get alot bigger…

[@howarddavies136]

I agree. If you had £350k to spend on one special car, you wouldn't buy this. But, if you have an Aston or a ferrari or two, you've done the supercar thing, you have half a mil and you want something engaging, bespoke and special that you will pass down to your kids when you go, then yeah this makes a lot of sense. This isn't about value for money in terms of performance - get a remapped AMG A45 if that's your thing. Likewise, if you want a performance watch a quartz LCD is the way to go, but we all really want the mechanical Speedmaster that costs 40x the price.

Back in the late 90's I had a 76' Porsche 914/4 2.0 and I loved it. Sadly it went up in flames. I would love to buy another some day. FYI: Not all 914's were made by VW! Only the early 914's were made by VW. When a new VW CEO came in, he didn't keep the agreement of the previous CEO, so Porsche continued production at their factory. If I could afford to buy one of these, I'd want mine to have the old pop up headlights, and in a period correct color. Very cool car. Thank you.

I had a 914 in the '90s and I loved it. I did swap a chevy small block into it and a couple other things; it was a lot of fun.

[@HerrinSchadenfreude]

So did I. Also had the steel Chalon slope nose kit on it. Most people I guess don't realize you could fit up to a 400 into the engine bay and then mate it up with the 915 transaxle and basically have a car that can do donuts within its own body length and corner like a slot car. The whole reason they handed the 4's to VW to do and stayed with the less available 6's is because the 914 outhandled the 911 on rally tracks with the mid engine design but didn't have the looks to be the flagship and couldn't be priced like one. It would have been very embarrassing for the 911.

Maybe a carbon hood if you want. But when they completely redesign cars, its like the soul has left the car.

[@rileyandikeysplaytime5936]

Cool build! I really like the front-end headlight mod. I'm sure back in the 1970's the engineers at Porsche Stuttgart AG would have gone in a similar direction had LED technology been as advanced as it is today. A set of bulky pop-up headlamps doesn't do a whole lot for aerodynamics in a low-drag build like the 914. Previously I've owned a 1987 944 as well as a 1991 BMW 850ci that also had pop-up headlights. My 944 was way underpowered IMO but made up for that easily with it's super low drag body lines. once up to freeway speeds, acceleration and coasting were incredible. I remember the feeling of as if My butt was just inches off the Asphault road in this little compartment and foot off the gas the speedometer would not drop off very much compared to other traditional vehicles I had driven. With the BMW, I had seen several mods where people made the pop-up open maybe half as much as normal and fitted very nicely were rectangular shaped lamps that either were xenon or high powered LED. The look was much more appetizing to the eye instead of the OEM version. If I had kept the 850, the next mod's I would perform would have been the manual 6 speed,cold air itake, aftermarket high flow exhaust and Dinan or other tuner's DME remapping to improve overall performance. I was looking at a $3,000 1977 914 on CL recently but after looking up resto part prices I quickly changed my mind! At my age, I'd prefer to modify another Mercedes Benz W111 se coupe! My 1967 250se was a fun car to drive. Imagine one bagged and rolling on nice HRE wheels. A big Garrett turbo and intercooler under the hood would bring some excitement to it.

Really well done, I had a resto in high school, like a go kart

Often restomofs are an original with changes for change sake . But the looks are spot on 💪 here.

A very interesting restomod project :)

£350k plus I have to buy the donor car, taxes & shipping?! Nope😂 It’s nice as heck but😮that’s a lot of cheddar, even for a restomod.

Soon we will have to start converting restomods into original cars

I want those headlights for my 914 for sure.
