13Buzz Power: 1970 Porsche 914
There has been a deluge of keg powered cars around here, so I figure why not continue that flood by posting a 13B powered Porsche 914. Not only does this car have a spinning rotor (or two) tucked behind the driver, but it wears an outlandish body kit that makes it look like a red Batmobile. Find this 1970 Porsche 914 offered for $14,500 in Franklin, NC via craigslist. Tip from PB.
The Porsche 914 was developed as a joint project between Volkswagen and Porsche, but ended up with a Porsche badge for the US market. It was sold with various flat-4 and flat-6 engines from 1969 through 1976, cementing its place as the best mid-engine Porsche in history…at least until the Boxster came out.
This 914 has had its 80ish horsepower air cooled flat-4 tossed in favor of a 13B rotary from some 80s Mazda. The spinning demon has been ported and massaged to develop 250 horsepower — expect it to sound like an swarm of killer bees who have been snorting honey laced with methamphetamine.

The bodykit…kinda looks like something you'd put on a Fiero…
I was thinking the same thing. It's hard to not look at it and think it's a Fiero.
Tried to get this seller to send pictures where rust would hide without success. Seller wanted me to phone instead. Hum……
Nothing wrong with that. I always talk to perspective buyers before taking additional pictures. Its time out of my day that I don't want to waste if they are not serious.
That said, he should have already taken them…
Looks like someone attempted to build themselves a Fairy-ari.
It's too mutch!
