SAY>>>>maybe someone can go in there and convince these guys to sell it whole, and save the little guy from a slow and "picky" death. With a salvage title...so what.

The DAPO. He should be drug out of his car, as we speak, tied to a lightpole, and all the neighborhood teeners, come by and turn their exhausts towards him. Gun their motors and peel forward blistering his sorry ass with the flotsam and jetsam on the roadway.

How dare he walk away from a perfectly wholesome body, and leave it for the vultures, ( not that you would be a vulture here, Thundercat ).

Kind of like watching someone mistreat a perfectly loving and wholesome significant other/love interest, then go skipping merrily away in pursuit of some modern day vixen, with a name like: Cobalt, S2000, or Miata, or HORRORS------ the mysterious siren with the recalcitrant ways and shifting moves. She goes not by name but by her initials, she is so slovenly.

vin 4702903384 corresponds with a number on the 914 vin # owners list


Who determines, and when is the dreaded little red "x" assigned to this vin? The owner/forum member, or a trusted moderator? I think keeping the vin list current is an imperitive for this Forum site. I'd like to see more of the color codes posted as well, to see if a pattern emerges with regard to vin and color selections and also to determine the proportion of one color to another, i.e. was silver dominate in 1970 and white the least painted color?

Hey....that would be a cool read......I would love to know if that info could be compiled. And I would love even more to see my v.i.n. in there amongst the selections.
I would imagine it to be quite the visual experience to be standing on the factory floor sidelines, watching all the jelly beans going by..........."nostalgia, what an enchanting 'perfume' you are."

currently, only the owner can edit the VIN information. i'm planning to add some more code so any admin can edit the info as well. that way, the admins can keep the list up to date, even if the owner does not frequent this site anymore ...

i added the "is dead" flag for the car in question ...

PS: btw, you can sort by color too, that allows you to (crudely) investigate color use by year ...

Thank You for the current info and all your help. This is a very good page, and I spent about 2 hours just looking thru and checking things out.

Amazing that there are really so few listed. That is good for us that have survivors, but so very sad, the car was so disposable so many died off and aren't bringing owners pleasure any more...........they have now become rebar buried in new freeways, or found re-birth in .......horrors, a new Hyundai, or Suzuki. Glad mine is here sleeping another winter away, awaiting Spring and new drives to the lake country, instead of housing some Joe- six- packs beers in a Whirlpool appliance, thru re-incarnation.
