That seems cheap for what it is.

Looks like 250K + to build.

If it still has a 914 title it could be registered in Texas as a classic car and not have to go through any inspection...

I saw this car shortly after it was converted to this form, possibly up at Thunder Hill raceway. I believe it was Ron Mistak who brought it. He had told his PCA competitors that in the off-season, he had "new fenders" put on the car. Pretty good joke, that!

I spent a little bit of time helping scoop mud and gravel out of the beast after an "off".

Yup, just barely enough to qualify for the racing class that it was in.

Let's not forget how we got the Porsche 962: from Porsche 911 Group 3 production-based category, to Porsche 934 highly-modified Group 4, to Porsche 935 wickedly-modified Group 5, to the Porsche 962 which basically had to have a few key bits from its baseline car to be considered a "Grand Touring" Prototype car (yup, that's a GT car, uh huh).

Rulesmakers control the game. Racers simply respond.

"[i]n our constant club-racer quest to make our cars faster, safer and "more reliable" we ha[ve] pushed for rule changes that simply accelerated the rate of entropy. Every class of production racing does this, of course, until it finally brings on its own demise." - Peter Egan
