I have just bought a 72 with 6k miles on it. The owner wrecked it just after buying it and let it sit since then.

The VIN is 4722901087, the color is green (so am I, so I don't know the name of the color), there is a lot that was taken off of the car before I got there, so I don't know if this thread will help anybody, but I will be happy to check anything out if anybody has any questions regarding originality.

It still has the original battery in it, and the last oil change sticker from the porsche dealership. I will get some pics up as soon as it gets delivered to my garage.

I am trying to decide whether to try and sell it as a wrecked low mile roller, or cut it up and crush it, so please chime in. I don't have space (or patience on the part of the GF) to keep it, so I really just got it for a couple of parts that I needed, and also I couldn't pass up a 6k mile 914.

Looks like the short body version! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

I'm not holding my breath looking at the rust & condition of the 914 in the pix above, but if you decide to part it out, please email me with pix of the following:

Rear Bumper (if chrome & still VG-Excl Cond.)
Sail & Rollbar Chrome Trim (all bits - 2nd dibs on prior request & 1st at rest, if VG-Excl Cond.)
Windshield Chrome Trim (if VG-Excl Cond.)
Carpet pieces/set if still there & if #503 Dark Tan Loop Pile - tan & brown speckled/oatmeal (if VG-Excl Cond.)
Steering Rack Cover/Pan (VG or rust-free restorable cond.)
Door jamb air vent cups/covers inserts (if VG-Excl Cond.)
Steering Wheel (if Leather Covered & still in Excl Cond.)
Dash top pad (if not cracked/checked & VG-Excl Cond.)

> VG-Excl Cond. - i.e.: almost new from a 6000 mi or very pristine 914

BTW - this is a 1st dibs on these parts folks (or 2nd on those previously dibbed above), depending on condition for my purposes & prices relative to same! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Where is that steakhouse?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .... on I-40 in the TX panhandle?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

If so, then I'm pretty sure that's the one my kids & I also used to stop at on our annual cross-country trips in our 88 Westy when they were still young! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
