Hi everyone, I have a question. I bought my first 914 when I was 10 or 11 years old. (This was in 2013)I paid $150 for the '71 914 rolling shell. I traded it a few years later for a vintage RC10 and an RC10T. The man that bought it from me was named Sean or Shawn. (I'm not positive how his name was spelled.) My 914 had a little bodywork done to it, had the steel VW-sport wheels, about a gallon of bondo per panel, rust in every nook and cranny, and was missing the engine, transmission, front windsheild, passenger seat, etc, and it had the word "most" spray painted on it. It was mostly painted in a faded red with spots of primer. It was painted many different colours, so it could have changed by now. It also had an Edelbrock sticker next to the right taillight. I'm just wondering if the man that bought it from me is on 914 world, or if anyone knows the fate of my 914. I'm trying to locate it. Thanks for reading!!!!

Any chance you have the VIN? Could look it up here and see if there's a hit

Good luck with your search!

I think it rocks that you started working on a classic car so young.

Without more interaction on your part on this post I doubt if you will ever find it. Just bumping the post will not get you far.

I had the car when I lived in Spring Valley Lake, CA. It was around the Victorville/Hesperia area.
Supposedly the car was taken down to the Montclair area, but I'm not certain.

Thanks, but I don't know what else I can do. I'll try to get the VIN as soon as I can. The pink slip was photographed the day I sold it, but the photo is on an old phone that is in a box somewhere.


Do you know of any other ways that can help locate the car or its owner? I've considered wanted posters... I don't know how affective that will be, though. Thank you!
