I located a cache of 5 914s sitting outside in a field. The guy that owns them knows quite a bit about Porsches and is just starting to get out of them. There are 2 '71s, a '72, a '74, and a '75. I got all the VINs for the database.
All have engines. No 2.0L, though. He has titles for all the cars. All appear to be parts cars, except one of the '71s (the 5th picture down below). The color code was gone, but it appears to have originally been tangerine. No serious rust in either trunk. The doors opened surprisingly well. All the gaps looked good. Some hell hole rust. Needs rear pans, at least. No signs of accident damage. Comes with 1.7L engine with Dellorto carbs, and tail shift tranny. Not a lot of great parts on the cars. A few bumpers, door handles, mirrors, windshields, suspension. Lots of body rust. He wants $3,000 for all. Or $1,500 for the tangerine '71. What to do? Attached image(s) |

I must say, it is pretty sad to see them suffering and dying a slow, miserable death. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
If the 914World community doesn't save them, who will? This calls for crowd funding and negotiation! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Perhaps some guys would be willing to pay for a few parts up front so you can get some of the money coming in before you pick them up? I suggest, if you have a space for them, which I presume you must, otherwise you wouldn't even be considering this purchase, then take a bunch of photos of parts which will get some money easily and put a list of those items together in an excel table and add up how you might be able to recoup $1,000-$2,000 quickly. If you have a hard time fining decent-looking parts to photograph because everything is wasted, well, then, I wouldn't bother with the time and effort.
