There in NO WAY the builder of this car is going to recoup anything more than a small percentage of what it cost to build.
re;reservoirs for brakes . Could be just a dual reservoir w/proportioning valve hidden, or separate f/r circuit w/mechanical bias adjustment. Could be the latter if built as track car for road racing or track day.

I like the quarters actually. I think it lightens up the look of the car (IMO).

Wow '74 parts for cheap. If I was fixing one of these up (which I would love to do), then I would be asking about that seat.

The brake pedal operates two master cylinders, one for the front brakes and one for the rear brakes. If you look at the pedals inside the car, underneath the brake pedal there's a horizontal bar that has an adjustment on it; you adjust it to one side or the other to adjust the front/rear brake bias.

That, or they could have been made to resemble the 57's openings?

I wonder if it is running the original Transaxle? I think you could run C6 or C7 parts & make up a custom driveshaft to use the original Porsche transaxle, Interesting.

It is probably like showing up at a cars & coffee with a 1968 XKE with a Pontiac OHC-6 under the hood. Most people but the snobs would love it.

You know if the paint job looks cheap in pictures, then it's really bad in person.

whad'ya wanna bet they didn't use the special flexible paint for the rubber bumpers?

They painted the entire car with 'muffler paint'.

Most Porsche sports car folk are pretty open to swaps -- many are "hot rodders" themselves.

A 928 at least deserves an LS, though...

Ha! I didn’t even notice that. The body-colored muffler is pretty much the calling card of a bad paint job. You have to wonder if they washed it first...

I can still recall the techs running and hiding when I brought my 928 S4 in for servicing, oh the cussing they did. I won't even get into the "front" engine nonsense I had to deal with. They made the corvette schmucks look good.

This with a LS swap would be heaven to me. I absolutely loved my 928, except for my yearly maintenance.

While we’re on the subject of Porsche engine swaps, this one is my favorite. Not mentioned in the heading - it’ll surprise you as you flip through the photos.


I think it’s an abomination.

Just saw this today. Doesn't seem crazy, incredibly, overpriced. Might be a decent parts car. Looks like one of those deals where $2K cash would take it.

Man that car needs a lot of work. Your right- the price for the parts seems reasonable
