Is it possible to get the Outlaw look without spending an arm and a leg? Forum user ahhgaragetime seems to think so with the very best Porsche he could afford: an incomplete 1974 Porsche 911S.
Considering the car was already “missing a part or two,” ahhgaragetime decided to go for an Outlaw look.
Since the thread was started in …
What makes a 911 an outlaw?

Unpaid parking tickets.
What about a 914 outlaw?
This is the only way I could ever afford an early 911, so it's occurred to me to do this.

As I understand it, mixing and matching parts and/or styling cues that never saw each other from the factory to create what you want.
Think resto-mod in the hotrod world.
Misc ramblings......
look at a 1967 911R which was the factory racer that still had narrow fenders , basic lightweight race car,
in 1974 they started the flatter "crash bumpers" in the 1980s-90s the many early narrow fender cars were "updated" to the crash bumper style with 911 RS or RSR wide fenders , big rear wing , slant nose fenders etc
In the 2000s to now these flat bumper cars were "back dated" to the early bumper style !
so there is a mis-match of project cars out on the market ,
a 1964 Prototype 911 was found with all the late model RSR wide fenders / flat bumper / big wing style , done by someone when early cars were worth nothing and everyone wanted a Miami Vice 911 :)
Then add that lots of Targas were made into Cabrios.....
I would start with whatever the newest year you can have that does not need emissions inspection , 1975 and newer were hot dip galvanized at the factory so that helps ,
And check the VIN number to see what year the car really is , you may be surprised and find a prototype under all that fiberglass !
ADDED : Look at a Singer , taking a later 911 and backdating it with a little more flair , and they also must hire a "designer" to get the interior colors and designs that look vintage with modern materials .......

What about an in-law? My wife's mother is always on a budget
He should have dropped in a rotary 13B! More HP.
I have a 914 project that is getting ready for a rollcage. I also have a rotary to VW trans adapter and a rotary intake, so I guess I'm part way to a 914 "Outlaw" build eventually. I was really planning on doing a Subaru swap, but I guess I should consider rotary power at this point too. It's just time and money away from AWESOMENESS. A long way away.........
You will be amazed how small the rotary is. I got my MGB with 13B cheep because the kid hooked up the oil cooler with 3/8" lines. That is a no, no. rotarys need lots of oil cooling because it does most of the cooling - not the water! And you can save a few lbs!
Mazda 13B race 242
Porsche 914 1679cc 265
Porsche 914 1980cc 311
Drop on a turbo and you can double the HP without any internal mods!
Loose the apex seals for even greater weight reduction.
