This very customized Porsche 914 will soon cross the auction block at Hilton Head Island. The entire custom body is made from steel and features a front grill and lights from a second generation Chrysler Concorde and a rear from a C5 Corvette. The powertrain consists of a Chevy 350 ci V8 that produces 375 horsepower connected to a five-speed manual transmission. The front suspension and disc brakes were upgraded from a Porsche 911. Auctions America estimate the custom roadster will sell for $30,000-$35,000. If anyone knows more about this project please contact us or leave a comment.

That is a cluster of ugly all in one place. Never would I have thought a 300M would look better with those headlights than something like this….
If the body is all steel as the article states, that some pretty good craftsmanship. Having said that, it’s a real ugly mess of a design though. It’s all quite hideous! Why is the front end smiling at me? It’s creeping me out.
So you don’t think Ferdinand Porsche would approve?
Well, the original 914 is already hideous. This one is a real frankenstein monster but the work is very well done, perfect paint job, bus still a salad of junkyard parts.
I agree, the work looks well done, but soooo many better choices could have been made.
