I had been saving my 1975 914 in my garage for the last 26 years. I considered it in very good shape and would run it once every year. Unfortunatly, it was submerged in Superstorm Sandy. I put a kid with a water hose on it for a few days and left it on my lawn for the last two and a half years. It still looks great. No more rust than in 1990. I assume all Mechanicals and Electric are shot but the interior, glass, chrome, rubber, top, Air Conditioner dashboard, and body seem fine.
I need to dispose of this car now because my house is finally being torn down. I am very emotionally invested in this car and need a way to dispose of it without the drama of listing it online.
Any leads on local recyclers? Or price advice?

I can't help you with any recyclers but there ought to be someone in your area that would be interested in your car.

I can't imagine what that must be like ...

Donate it to one of the charities that will pick it up. Give the vin to sir Andy. Maybe get a tax break for the donation?

Place an ad here in the classified section, it's free. Be sure to take lots of pics & post them & the history of the car. Come up with a number $ & see what happens. I bought my 1970 six from an ad here 9 years ago & have no regrets.

You will sell the car here for a fair price sa a parts car. Please give a posting as much time as possible and don't send it to a junk yard. Someone in your area might even have available storage until it sells. Sorry for your loss.

This is a simple car. You might invest a couple thousand and make it a solid driver again. Someone here might come over and help with an estimate.

Good luck!

Sell it to Garold, give him a good price that makes it worth coming to get it.
He is the guy who may take it apart and get other cars going.

I worked on Long Island adjusting claims after the storm. I saw first hand the extent of the damage. Terrible.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) or Paul (914itis) also he is 12 hrs closer than me. As for value keep in mind the water damage to the engine, trans and all of the electrical stuff. I know it will hurt, but $500 at best maybe a little more.
