Has anyone ever seen a 911 replica? Check THIS out!

The windows and windshield look absurdly tall, which indicates to me that this has GOT to be Bug-based and very small. The second picture down on the right side makes it look practically like a Shriner's car, and the whale-tail looks enormous. It's got four-bolt wheels, too!
I like it ... sort of ... But I'd paint it Glitter Metal Flake Brown (ala the Bradley GT) to make it obvious it was a phony.

Wow, that's funky looking. Who's making 911 replicas??? My guess is its a one-off. Imagine what the P-guys are gonna think about this one! They hate our tubs as it is and our tubs are BETTER than the originals at quarter of the price...

...that replica looks better suited for a golf course, but I would TOTALLY drive that thing to a Porsche event (just for effect)!

...and I bet you a dollar that someone would come up and say "I had one of those back in the..."

I wonder if that manufacturer also makes a replica AMC Pacer?

Rather foolish to spend 3750 pounds ($6924 american buckeroos), on a replica when that money will buy a REAL 911...

We have an 82 targa - soon to be a cabriolet that we paid $4200 for. Quite decent driver though a run down interior and lousy paint.

Just bought the cabriolet top and all conversion bits - $1500. That will be a REAL convertible 911 for about the same cost as the replica.

If they had made this replica with a speedster type windshield that would have looked pretty darn cool though.

Oh, Jim ...

Oh I gotta get me one o' them weiner mobiles!!!!!!

I have one (in an hour or so to be two) dachshunds. What a hoot!

Cory ...I WANT THAT!! Our dog, Bob (corgi), would rule the neighborhood in that thing.

Lane - wiener dogs RULE!! Out here at one of the Horse Race tracks they hold the annual "Wiener Nationals" - dachshund races - pretty cool, lots of fun!

Peace - Out!

I don't remember the original Wienermobile having a whale tail like that, but my memory could be going.

Sure, Luke! It's scavenged out of a make-your-VeeDub-Wienermobile-into-a-911 kit! 'Course, sadly, that was a CMC construct. Personally, I like the non-color-matched fenders on the front. They really add something.
I think the molds are still in Miami somewhere!

Jim, I'll be on the lookout. Will a pedal car do for now? Forty bucks!

I'm shocked at the number of Wienermobile Wienermobilia out there!

But I don't see a single whale-tailed replica anywhere. I'll keep looking ...
Ah-Ha! The imperical data! The Wienermobile Road Test article!

This one's just flat frickin' funny! Al Unser, Jr. autographed the afore-mentioned pedal car's photo at the finish line of some race track or other (you may recognze the brickwork):

... but that last one may not last too long. I think it may well be hanging in my bar before the week's out.

Hey, Steve Lane ,Where can I get that Targa ---cabrolet conversion kit you just mentioned. I have always wanted to do that with a couple of Targas I previously owned .Right now I have an eye on one in a neighbors backyard that is ripe for the plucking. Thanks.

This details the procedure. Its actually not that complicated, these cars WANT to be convertibles (haha - I think all cars want to be convertibles!). Right now we are working on a car who had the conversion done many years ago car is a 1980 - held up very nicely. Our other p-project is an 82 and is due for the surgery over the next couple of months.

Also suggest you add the body stiffeners through the inner rocker panel area. Its a good thing - something the factory added to the cabbies eventually and used on race cars for much longer to increase chassis stiffness.

Thanks a whole bunch Angela. Was wondering if you know of anyone who has done a conversion on a 356? I know their inner construction is different(hence they rust from the inside out....no fun at all) but I would surmise that with the correct stiffeners you could pull it off. I was shocked the the day to see a 60 cab.on samba go for 85k ...in one day...got me thinking I can tell you.

Carl,

Dink Farmer from Farmer Bros. in CA has done several coupe to cab/speedster conversions. There are pictures of a T6 to speedster in my file.
