If you ever parted out a 914 or came across one in a junkyard, we'd like to know about it!
As you may know, we're keeping a database of 914 VIN numbers and one group of special interest are the dead ones.
Parted out, crushed in an accident, cut up or rusted away ...
If you have any VIN numbers and other info (Color, chassis#, build date etc.), please take the time to add those to our database.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=membervins
You can add as many VINs as you like.
If you don't like to add the VIN yourself, please post the info about the car here and i'll add it to the database for you.
And if you have a picture of the car, even better!
Andy

There are two of them that I've been picking off of at the local pick-a-part. I didn't think to get the info when I was out getting a little part for ZONEDOUBT. I'll try to get the vin info this weekend....anybody need parts while I'm there? One even still has a good windshield.

I parted out and cut up a white 75 2.0 back in 1994 but cannot find the Vin information on it.
Posted by: carr914 Apr 11 2009, 08:04 AM
I junked this one about 10 years ago, but I didn't keep a record of the Vin#. It was a 75 painted Olympic Blue

Didn't have my camera and I live in South Bay Area. Was up pulling a window for my Truck, while visiting my mother for the holidays. I am sure some of the Sacto people can get it for you, its hard to miss RIGHT on the main Aisle.
The last letter or number was hard for my forty something year old eye to see clearly.

Pick-n-Pull site shows 914 in Tallahassee FL as of 2/25/2011, one in Calgary as of 2/9/2011, and a new date on one in Sacramento, which may or may not be the one mentioned above, new date of 2/1/2011.
Posted by: Brent Mar 4 2011, 03:48 PM
Any info on the one in FL????? There has got to be a bunch of NARPs or 914 Worlders out there!

I just looked over a car listed in posted in CL in our area: "76" vin ..0348
Original L13K Summer Yellow with Tan int. mostly complete typical rust at Sail's & through the lower firewall/floorpan on the Pass. side. 
Helped the sales dude open the trunk for the 1st time, yup.. 911 reflector with easy access hole. They couldn't figure it out 
Posted by: rdauenhauer Jul 2 2012, 10:52 PM
A couple more I looked at. Pair 74 & 75.
The 75 was Olympic blue (hard to tell from my shots) 1.8L
The Light Ivory 74 was pretty wasted.

In a 75, that would be Laguna Blue. It's less green than Olympic Blue.

Pick 'n Pull search engine indicates two 914's within 200 miles of my location. One in Fresno, one in Redding. Someone care to scoot over to these and get the VIN#'s?
Posted by: JimN73 Jul 14 2012, 09:02 AM
Parts Heaven is getting one on Monday the 16th. They don't know anything about it yet except that it has been rearended.
So, if I or any one of you, goes that way next week we could get the vin.
Posted by: Elliot Cannon Jul 14 2012, 11:31 AM
I checked out the car in Fresno. Not much left of it. The VIN is (was) 4712920933. I didn't get anyting off the car except a '71 relay board cover and the plastic nuts that hold the tail light lenses on. But then again, who can refuse a drive to Fresno on a 108 degree day?

The one in Redding was a Scarlet Red 76, but I forgot to get the VIN or pics when I was there in May, passing through a roadtrip to SF. Motor and trans were already gone, except the working to spec (!) MPS, which I pulled and have if someone needs a good 043. I also got the steering wheel, fuel pump, and turn signal, if anyone wants those. All the body panels were there as well, but it looks like its been crushed by now, since it's no longer on the Pick & Pull website.

Posted by: euro911 Sep 28 2012, 01:34 AM
Rich, did you note the rare early 914 offset Rivieras on both of those cars?
I pulled a passenger seat and some small parts from a fairly complete red one at a pick-a-part in Gardena, CA several years ago. Didn't think to get the vin 
Funny thing - I saw the same car for months, sitting on a trailer that was attached to an old motorhome, parked on a main boulevard in Hawthorne, CA. I left a note on it asking the owner to call me if he was interested in selling. Never heard from the guy.
He probably got only $200 for it ... the going rate for 'scrap' cars around here. I was prepared to offer him $500 for it

I'll go back and check out that junker that I saw for sale yesterday (see the "FS" forum for description). I forgot to get the VIN for the collection.
Posted by: Cuda911 Aug 7 2014, 05:49 PM
Andy, here's the VIN tag from the one in my recent post. I can't quite make out a couple of the numbers with 100% certainty.
Black, 1975. Oceanside, CA, on a used car lot currently. I think a 1.8.

Two ready for the crusher, no pics.
4762902902
4722907141
Located on the grounds of what appeared to be a closed auto repair shop, corner of Center Street and Pinellas, Tarpon Springs, FL.
Engine and trannny were missing from the 76, it had been T-boned on the passenger side, severe rust, top has been off for a long time, probably nothing worth saving.
Couldn't get a good look at the 72, but also in poor shape.
Both have been sitting outside for a long time.

I remember a salvage yard just across the freeway from skyharbor, west of the airport in Phoenix that had several 914's. I pulled some parts for my 72 back in the mid nineties. I am not sure if they are still there or not. The salvage yard dealt in just Porsche. I live in Colorado now so I can't run down to check.
Posted by: wes Mar 24 2015, 11:47 AM
Might as well add this Andy as it is my parts car with a salvaged title last licensed 04/30/2010, lots of rust and pretty well striped down, never to see the road unless towed!

Nope, there can be multiple entries per VIN, that way, we can keep a VIN history of sorts.
And multiple entries only count once against the overall VIN count ...

Hi Andy,
I stopped at a local Porsche Repair shop in the metro area (Novi, MI) and took a few cell phone pics of a 1974 914-6 conversion with a 3.6 engine under development. The shop didn't want to give out the owners name, just allowed me to take a few cell phone pics. Interesting stuff, I'll keep checking on the progress.

Found a 1975 1.8 liter car at the Pick-N-Pull in Fairfield, California today. Build date was February 1975. Car was orange and still had its original factory paint — looked like it had never been repainted. VIN was 4752908856. Kerman No. was 8758009. Paint color was L20C. There was also a tag on the inner right front fender with the number 075-9002. The rust was terminal. Floors completely gone and passenger door would not open because body was collapsing. Drivers door was open but looked like someone had taken a giant can opener to it. Dash was all rusted, as was handbrake lever. Car must have parked outside for years with the top off.
