I went to see this last Saturday and unfortunately most of these cars will not make it back on the road.
A property owner in Rochester, WA bought the property and the barns had about a hundred cars. Mostly 914s and tons ov VW's. The prior owner had collection of over 1000 cars spread across multiple properties and some cool cars were pulled out of the collection prior to the sale of this property. When the new owner contacted a local VW club to ask for help getting rid of all the cars, they organized a community sale event to get them to enthusiasts rather than scrapping them outright. I heard about it through 914 Rubber and made the trip up to see what was there.
While some cars found new homes during the weekend event, including an LE, there are still many remaining that are now scheduled for the crusher. The seller allowed the organizers 1 more weeked to try and help rescue as much as possible. They are giving our community one final chance to pull parts before they're gone for good.
I didn't bring anything home myself, but I could see there are still salvageable components that could help other members with their restorations:
Exterior trim
A few good dash tops
Gauges
Turn signal housings
German glass
Rear windows with defrost
Interior components
Most of the complete cars have significant rust issues, but complete donor cars are available for minimal cost.
Location: 4714 183rd Ave SW, Rochester, WA 98579 When: This Saturday and Sunday What to bring: Cash, basic tools, trailer for complete cars
If you're in Washington or Oregon and need parts for your project, this might be your last chance to rescue these components. Even if you take more than you need, anything you put in our classifieds later helps keep these parts in the community instead of the scrap yard.
Time is running out on this one.
