There isn't a problem with the pieces, it's just that they're probably handmade - not yet series production. The yellow one seems to be one of the first pre-production ones. prototypes (the explicitly state "erprobungsfahrzeug", not to to scare a probable buyer by it's current looks) rarely have the type, even the manufacturer displayed anywhere. in this case it would be difficult to hide their identity though.

nice cars...

GM sells a 740 hp big block crate engine. 1250 Hp is not too difficult to get out of a big block.

Excellence, one of the P-car magazines did a story on a 914 that was completely hot rodded. The guy threw a twin turbo 3.6L in one, flared the fenders by a good six inches, etc.

The best part of the car? The liscence plate frame which read:

'Its all stock' on top

and

'Trust me' on the bottom.

The one I saw was a 914/6 GT. Those are the ones with the fender flares and the 911 engines.

You're right... they probably just threw the duct tape on for asthetically pleasing reasons... and put the crack there to impress people too:

The yellow car has subtle differences from the other two which appear pretty much identical. As for the manufacturer... that's pretty clear for anyone that reads the "Porsche" on the manifolds or looks at the emblems on the wheels. Don't know if that makes it pre the other two or not. Just that its different. The lack of a GT on the back spurned my initial statement. The black one does have that on the back and the silver one has something taped in place.... so its difficult to say.

Actually... looking a little closer... the black car has alot of tape on it too. Maybe the yellow is a later version and the other two are earlier prototypes. At least the yellow one has molded tail light covers and doesn't show obviously "just throw these in" tail lights.

black tape is is sometimes used to hide shapes of the cars, and the rear tail extends above 75mph must not have been workin on some of em, or testing effects of them down and up. The amount of effort that has gone into the GT in inspiring and its a pity there making only 1500.

That's doesn't look like a crack. Most probably a cable for an additional sensor.

Hey I'm just saying.

Actually it might not have been a "real" GT but it definitely had the flares and the 6 cyl. Those things look so much better with the flares BTW.
