I don't think its overpriced, for 1 this one has reasonable straight in air things between repeater/hood, most new build have 'bad wings were the cut outs are wrong, so those black air thing are not straight in but really bad crooked, just watch all newly done classics, 60% or so have that part crooked, I think its because of the side panels supplied, I think most order them by the same supplier, the wrong one lol.
look, left and right pretty good in the spaces were they fit, the black things, some have chroom, or gause?
The finish looks good from the pics. look, left and right pretty good in the spaces were they fit, the black things, some have chroom, or gause?
The question is what would this have cost to build to this standard?
this on the other hand doesnt look so good body wise

Looks to me the gap between the bonnet and the wings is uneven…as we look at it in that pic fit is much closer on the right. Bit suspicious of the pics that there are no side on pics showing panel gaps around doors too.
Yes, but those grilles fit nicely, so all's fine and dandy just as long as you ignore the elephant in the room that is the wing to bonnet shutlines ...

Why would anyone in their right mind use a Cat C chassis as a donor vehicle?!All the abortions are being rolled out atm. I wonder if its the economic outlook?

I think the 914 and particularly the 916 looked very interesting cars ... a style ahead of their time ?A shame I'm told they were such rust buckets ... ?

It's gorgeous, but the prices people are charging for these things - led, I think, by Singer - are absurd. That's £350k (to start with). My cost-no-object resto/restomod of my 964 owes me less than half that and retains full originality (shell, block, box and trim) while improving the engine, suspension, ICE and lighting.A shame I'm told they were such rust buckets ... ?
You can buy an awful lot of car for £350k, and however well put together and "sensitively modernised" any restomod is, it's still fundamentally an old car with old car limitations, yet because it's been thoroughly chopped about it not longer has classic value, so if the restomod thing fades the value will fade with it. I suppose if you truly don't care it doesn't matter, but I can still make a long list of cars I'd rather buy for that price.

HIGH POWER AND TORQUE
Original 3.6 engine is being completely hand rebuild to 4.0 L spec with many bespoke custom parts generating 390 HP and massive 315 ft/lbs of torque. In addition to this spectacular engine, the car features performance hybrid technology via KERS in a way of electric motor in place of factory flywheel, mounted between the engine and the transaxle, adding additional 150 HP and 150 ft/lbs on demand. The system features specialized battery located in the front of the car with extreme ability of fast charge and fast discharge using deacceleration and regenerative braking for energy storage.

Are you serious GTrene? What a complete abomination. So many 911's getting ruined and getting turned into cartoon sketches!
Yes, it has is own place, its different, it has many special parts and ow, that special hybrid in the flywheel or something, giving it 150 or so hp extra, thats clever stuf, no need for extra high rpm, or turbo or SC, but this.I think it owns its very own place in the Restomod world.
Yes some Singer I like more by looks , so its different, but see how many make sort likes, this one is different, has some great items on it.

Interesting. The rear doesn't quite work for me but I like the change to the centre console.GTRene said:

I had read about that KERS system and fantasised about putting it into my '69 911 for a few seconds before reality kicked in!Original 3.6 engine is being completely hand rebuild to 4.0 L spec with many bespoke custom parts generating 390 HP and massive 315 ft/lbs of torque.
