Vote: Is the Interior of This Backdated Porsche 911 a Hit or a Miss?

Looking for a modified, old-school 911? This backdated Porsche 1975 911S just might check all the right boxes for you: ducktail spoiler, big fender flares and a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter engine hiding in the rear.

The only thing that might not be on your list? How about a unique teal-and-brown houndstooth interior that not only covers the seats, but also the dash and the doors, too?

This 1975 Porsche 911S recently went up for auction over on Bring a Trailer, and although bidding reached $230,000, the auction failed to make reserve.

So, is this a modified 911 with some interesting style choices, or is that interior make you want to steer clear of this teal-over-brown Porsche?

Is this 1975 Porsche 911S worth $230,000?
Yes, it's an interesting build.
No, that interior makes me sick.

BLEAGHCK!

If it was just the seat inserts, maybe OK.  It would benefit from a smaller scale pattern, though.

But the door cards and dash panel are a mortal sin.  That steering wheel might have looked good in black - highly doubtful - but that aggressively bright tan (how is that even a thing?) just highlights what an ugly design it is.

It's cool looking, but it's too much.  Almost dizzying to look at.  I'd say if it were just the seats, fine, but the rest would make me not want to ever open the door or be inside that thing.

Voting options I guess are an attempt at levity.

My answer is hell no, it's not worth $230K, but my objection to the price has little to do with the interior.

Seats and doors might work (although that orange color is too 70s for me) but the dash just makes it too tuner-y for me.

I would've gone with a different color combo if it were my 6 figure car, but I like the idea.
