Found this on COPART today. Not much left but the rear bumper looks like it could be from a /6

This one is so bad you couldn't even jack up the VIN plates and put a new car under them. You would have to forge some VIN plates first.

Anybody know the story behind this?

Also, if you look through COPART Porsche listings there were two 356s and some 912s to go with the usual 2017 models that were crashed/burned/stolen/flooded/etc.. Pretty sad.

Looks like a structure fire.

Wasn't there a warehouse storing cars that went up recently?

Rear valance has the early port hole but it is in the 914-4 location.

OK TC here is my take.
Rear fog light bracket.....unusual on any car, most likely on a six
14" Fuchs....who would choose them on a conversion ?....original on a real 6
Solid aluminum steering wheel adapter for an Momo just like on my car. Not suitable
for a 4cyl. Can't see any evidence on the right of the column of an ignition lock.
In the pic from the drivers side into the interior the steering column appears to have
tabs that mount the plastic clamshells of a 6
The rear valence/exhaust does look like a 4 cyl.
The view into the left rear wheel well is fuzzy , is that an oil hose in there ?
What else ?
Front marker lamps filled with metal discs.....not welded....just strange

A garage fire in Michigan. Consumed this real quick 914-6, a 911, and a 356 too. Tragic.

It starts with a 9? I suspect the 3rd digit was a 4 that looked like a 1 after the fire.
