Stash of Barn-914s in Brentwood CA, Did anyone else here check 'em out? I did! Options

[RoadGlue]

My friend turned me on to the craigslist ad which listed a bunch of 914s, airplane parts, an Alfa, etc etc. We were the first to make it out the the huge estate with its own private, paved airstrip and huge hangars full of wonderful machines. All sorts of cars, airplanes and tons of 914 parts and '73/74 cars that need a loving home.

I put everything from the day in one big gallery, so you'll have to look at non-914 content too. Oh, and I tried to shoot VINs when I thought of it. I know the '75 he'll pretty much give to the right person. We didn't discuss costs too much. Nice kid, father passed away recently and there's more there than he can really deal with. Wants cars to go to loving homes vs. the wreckers. He's keeping the red one with fresh'ish paint for himself. More people showed up after we left Saturday, so I don't know what's left.

OK, I spoke with the guy, and as I was talking to him my friend says are you talking about "such & such?"! So he knows them and everything that is going on! My friend is taking me out there (after speaking with them) to see the cars this week, maybe tomorrow! The family is liquidating the estate and the son sounds like he wants to keep a few of the teeners to restore one some day!

I will fill you in with some more details as I get them!

Let us know if you pick up anything. Every building has 914 parts, even in the buildings without actual cars. Eric seems to have a good grasp on where everything is. I'd make an offer on the real Fuchs if they are still there. They are in the Hangar with the Stearman. There is a fake set too.

Have fun!
