It was once a 1973 Porsche 914 with Chrysler concorde front lights.

You would be correct! But, there is a name and a nickname that was given to this creation. If you could provide me with those, the point is yours!

Seems to be called 914-8 GTS and the nickname Franken-Porsche seems frequently applied.

The Porsche 914 was mid-engined, not rear-engined.  But to the great unwashed mid-engined means engine behind the cockpit, i.e. rear-engined!

I quite like the frontal aspect. Its a good use of those Chrysler Concorde lights.   The rear is not nearly as nice.

The front lights seem to be taken from a Chrysler 300M (1999-2004 model) rather than a Concorde.

It does come off of a 300M. Eh, who's to judge. I understand the builder using 300M parts because no one drives them anymore!
