What was a beautiful 1974 2.0L Appearance Group car with factory f/r sway bars.

Color was L96B - Alaska Blue Metallic.

Motor: GA009175

It was hit hard in the rear (previous owner). Motor is fine, but the trans where the starter sits cracked a tab off. In reality, it took the impact really well.

We pulled parts that we could and need for the 74 Bumblebee (gas tank, windshield, etc) and others.

Now, at the crusher.

I added it to the VIN database.

Still a lot of meat left on that bone, specially in the rusty part of the country.

Posted by: 914time Mar 16 2016, 02:36 PM

We pulled nearly everything off (Fuchs included)

I really like that color as well.

PO is lucky to be alive, the engery of that hit had to go right through the driver.

What I really like with this 914, several 914s accident that really damaged the front trank or rear trank like this but the cockpit is pretty much intact and the door gap is still almost perfect.

Any idea on the history of the car? I restored an Alaska Blue '74 way back in the 80's, but lost the vin, and haven't had any luck tracking down what happened to it. Didn't have Fuch's back then tho'...

Very sad!

What happened to the broken trans?

Posted by: ssuperflyoldguy Mar 16 2016, 05:05 PM

I would have rescued the front clip - cut right across as far back as possible. Maybe the entire longs just for fun. If it was a rust bucket, I wonder what the damage would have looked like...

Nobody wanted any of the meat off of the front of that car?

Sad to see one go.

Dang....sad to see one go. I would have taken the cowl off of you if it wasnt in too bad of shape....is it crushed already??

..................I could use the front trunk floor if still have car

Posted by: PlantMan Mar 17 2016, 01:10 PM

Still looks like it is in better shape than my car.....

I would give you what the crusher will pay for the rest of the car. I'll send you a PM. Any rust in the front trunk or the front panel?

Edit: I didn't see it was already at the crusher.

I would think before I sent it to the crusher I would offer it up for FREE here or on craigslist. Scrap prices are very very low right now, so scrapping it probably netted about $35. Someone could have used what was left, or made yard art, anything other then turning a Porsche into an appliance.

What a bummer.....

Posted by: gcarter85 Mar 17 2016, 09:53 PM

I need the front clip.... my front windshield frame is toasted along with rest of front clip.
