Occasionally I'll run across a car that to me looks like its just waiting for someone to take it off the owners hands. Here are a few that I think are left for dead.
2829 10th Ave. Arcadia, CA.
7962 Sunkist Dr. Oakland, CA.
What have you found?

Thats cool. Here is one I see all the time. I guess it still runs since it seems to have moved.

Since Google Street has not made their way to Podunkville as of yet, I have to resort to less entertaining methods.....

Ive seen the one in Arcadia, b/c my girlfriend lives on Doolittle Ave which is less than 3 mins away.

Bingo, here's one i would often see in San Gabriel, whenever i dropped off a co-worker. I think this one is outdated, b/c last i saw there were two in the driveway.

okay... that didn't work. I'll try again in a second
Gotta Print Screen the image and then host it on Photobucket.com or Flickr.com.
Here's another one in San Marino, it's a white 914, but it's now under a car cover:

That particular area has a high car theft rate and I have heard the guy had a ton of people always coming up asking if he wanted to part with the 914s. I also hear the owner of the cars is a member on here but I don't know who.
Also found out the owner of the cars isn't the one who owns the house. Don't know if this is true but the sorces say it is

Here's mine (covered but not dead 
)
Posted by: sixnotfour Feb 22 2009, 02:48 AM
I know the owner we can have a sawzall party anytime.
There is a v8 kit and a chalon kit in this bus out near Monroe Wa.

Posted by: tommy914 Feb 22 2009, 09:27 AM
Here's mine. It's not dead either, at least it wasn't 4 weeks ago when I last drove it. Maybe I need to take it out today.

So where's that creepy stalker smilie ?? 
Posted by: Sleepin Feb 22 2009, 11:13 AM
Stakling aside, I always thought it would be neat to have a list of the "left for dead" or "awaiting death to sell" 914's. Hell I was suprised when I bought the last 5 that they had all been sitting in an area that was easily seen from the street!
Posted by: r_towle Feb 22 2009, 12:20 PM
I have to say, if we are all afraid of big brother...guess who else can see these pics...your local and federal government.
I bet there are some laws regarding keeping unregistered cars on the property that the local government will start to enforce and collect some tax revenue.
Damn scary IMHO...the fact that someone could do exactly what you are doing, find a target car...then case out the place...
That is just scary to me.
All of mine are inside...and NO, I wont post my address of a pic of my place...just to creepy for me.

Hasnt that been done a few years back ?
I dont think the address should be posted.
Posted by: Heeltoe914 Feb 22 2009, 01:25 PM
Agreed no address unless someone PM you and would like to drop a note to buy it butt thats for members here Only than we have a paper trial if something bad happens My 2 cent.

I figure this is a good a thread as any to post this little place I found that I am SUPER curious about. I spotted what looked like a 'teener from the road...
Upon closer inspection, I found SEVERAL 914s. They are in various stages of disrepair...
The thing that really gets me is that this isn't a residence, and it isn't a place of business. According to the neighbors, it's just a building that some guy uses to store his cars, some of which are outside...
Very curious
Posted by: 6freak Feb 25 2009, 09:30 AM
If thats outside!! whats inside???
