What a sensational piece ! ! ! ! Don't you just LOVE how it was made to look like a well kept original rather than a restored car? The e-brake, slightly worn seats, fitting of the various aluminum panels and all, just perfect for a preserved survivor car.
I recognize a few small bits and pieces from cars that I've owned. By the shifter, boot, the pic shot through the rear vents plus the info sheet, I'd bet that it's built around a 914 engine and trans, five lug slotted wheels would seem to indicate 356C or 912 brakes, 356A instruments and Pre-A knobs and bezels, dash idiot lights and headlamp adjuster/trim ring assemblies are MGB, hand formed aluminum panels, but possibly featuring small airplane wing tips as fins since they seem to be better formed than any other panel on the car. Looks like an old cloisonne shift knob emblem (MG MITTEN ??) centered in the steering wheel boss, and you just know how cool they thought it was when they stumbled onto that stalk of aluminum (who knows where) and decided that it would make a perfect mirror stanchion.
The car's a real work of art!! No matter that it replicates an old Porsche . . .

Hi Folks,
If you look closely at the dash; It does have the Spiderkraft script on there.
Nice looking car.

Man! If that green one was around when I was looking for a hillclimb car I'd of been all over it!!!
I think that thing with the fins must've snuck up on a refrigerator box; the bastard offspring being the 917 short-tail.
I like the 917, but Daddy's gotta go.

Hey..... it is up to over $50k with about 3 hours to go, and still hasn't hit reserve.
