A 914 friend died in 2007 leaving his wife tons of parts and some 914 bodies. After all this time they were all sold at auction. Ron (pcar916) and I went to see what we could snag. I got three side shift trannys for $60 and he got two and 1/2 trannys for $40. He got a few other things too. The trannys were the only things that I was interested in. Lots and lots of other parts. Although we got a good deal on the things we got, it was sad knowing that most likely all the bodies were going to be scrapped....I did see Hotshoe's old LE....it's the first two pics....the auctioneer called it a wad of metal...it was lucky #13....the rest of the bodies which went for $30-$60 were going to the scrap yard.....

Very sad to see. I just heard about it last night, or I would have made an effort to get there.
Skip did a transmission for my first conversion car, and we became friends at a surprise part at Rich Johnson. Skip and Gail came to the '97 Midwest Renegade Festival where I met my wife. He was recovering from cancer then. I never hear what he died from, and just assumed the cancer came back. Were there any chassis worth saving? Were there any wheels, or NOS stuff? Tools? Too bad for Gail, I'm sure all that car stuff has been a burden and a sad reminder of Skip. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I will never forget the drive to get beer at Rich Johnson's Christmas party in '96, Skip driving Perry's 3.0L and me chasing in Rich's 'Ole Yeller' ...legendary!
