I just got back from Pegasus Pizza out on Alki and on the way back I spotted not one but THREE 914s is front of a Bungalow just past the Alki Tavern... Two orange and a Red 75 or 75... Anybody know anything about them?

Posted by: sixnotfour Feb 2 2005, 06:13 PM

Yes I Do, 1 orange 1969 build date
2 orange wrecked left front 1975-6 2.0
3 Red, Green original 1976 from Ca.

What else you want know? they belong to a friend and can be had, but it wont be easy,
Doesnt like to sell much, likes to buy.

Plans are to the 2 orange and make a runner out of red.

Good to know! I love to see multi car homes in better nieghborhoods than mine!

I was able to say to the Wife, "See! it isn't just ME!! and one of mine is even in the garage"
Be sure to thank him for me!

They have been sitting there for a while in the grass and rain. They might have been decent cars now they have to be parts cars. Nothing last too long in the NW especially if you are one block from the salt water!

I say bullshit. I drove past those cars everyday for years and they have not been moved. One was even a support for a tree branch that fell in a storm. They mow the grass aroud them tho....
BTW, I worked at Pegasus for 7 years before I moved to San Fran

Whats your point ? I just talked to the owner a few days ago. Just because it may never happen does not mean that isnt His Plan.
He also told me he just paid 100.00 bucks to have them moved over 1 house.

Those have been there forever. Apparently they have been moved one house! I'd get one in good condition instead.

Oh my, don't look at me! I have three non running 14s as it is! They ARE NOT coming home with me!!!
NO
maybe
NOOOOOOOooooooo

BTW if they're the cars I'm thinking of, that part of Alki is still sort of lower West Seattle, and not the primo neighborhood nearer the point.

Posted by: Bleyseng Feb 2 2005, 11:19 PM

haha, yeah real primo location across from the steel yard!

I would need a running 914
Flight of the UGMO is still on hold...

I have been trying to work some deal on a couple of his 914's through Jeff for what, a year now? They guy is though to get a hold of. Jeff knows him, so if someone wants one of the cars (or two or three), try going through Jeff. He seems to have the best luck with him.

Sad to see the cars sitting out in the rain. They probably all have batteries in them too.

Posted by: Bleyseng Feb 4 2005, 11:11 AM

I am sure the battery has fallen thru the rusty long to the ground!

My point was expressed in my other post. If he is going to do something with the cars, I wish him all the luck. But, I have seen them rotting in the yard under broken branches and rain for going on 5 years. We all know how 914 owners are, he probably is no exception. When he "realizes" he is working with three rusty pieces of metal, his enthusiasm will probably fizzle. Im not trying to doubt anybody or question their reasons, Im just calling a spade a spade.

Posted by: Bleyseng Feb 4 2005, 12:27 PM

Yep, one of those guys who thinks he is sitting on a "gold mine" cuz they are "Porsches".
If you could sell rust we would ALL be rich! This guy is sitting on a rust mine.
