Porsche 914 with GT flares and 5-lug conversion. Possibly a 914-6.

Nice Deep Dish Fuch alloys on the rear.

Not too bad for something from the early 1970's eh?

Usually, if it had the 5-luggers, it was a 914-6. The sound would have given it away...Darryl?

I don't recall how it sounded, sorry. Too many years of standing on the side of the road listening to "Loud Pipes Save Lives".

A 5-lug conversion is a VERY common upgrade among enthusiasts. The 911 front suspension bolts right in. They typically drill and stud the original rear hubs, but some find the uber-rare 914-6 stub axles.

At any rate, a VERY nice looking Porsche!

I had a silver 1970 914-6 in 1974. They were produced 1969-1972, but only sold in U.S. 1970-1971. Drive train was a 911T unit flipped around to creat mid-engine. I seem to recall the wide body was for a racing version called 916. It did sound good!

This ugly thing a Porsche?
don't believe it.
Anyhow Dad's Alfa Spider was much nicer and infected me with the open air virus.
Get a rig and some free time, even the shopping becomes a mini vacation then.
