I'm following that car on BAT as I do most 914's. Overall I like the build but am not a fan of the rear spoiler. Some of the stuff is a little overdone IMHO. When they say "914-6 style side shifter" I'm not sure what they mean as no original 6's had a side shifter- they were all tail shifters. I converted my both my '71 4 and '71 6 to side shifters to improve the shifting but don't know what they mean by 914-6 style. Just a small thing but guess I'm OCD.

Looks like it would be a kick to drive. And the back dated bumpers are a BIG plus!!

Looks like a fantastic car. I love everything about it, including the rear spoiler, flares, wheels, etc. Needs a center console and that's about it.

That roll bar could be a head-banger, and also steal head room if you are taller and need to push the seat all the way back.

Great looking car. It's a '75 chassis so no worries re smog here in CA. Not a fan of the rear spoiler or the roll bar. I would swap out the headers for some nice SS heat exchangers and just enjoy that beauty. Those are really insignificant issues for a beautiful car. I would definitely try to buy that if I were in the market for another. Based upon the last 6 conversion that was arguably built to that level, I would expect a 9 in front of the final sale price.
