I called a local junk yard too see if they had any 914s. He said they ahd two, and I could come take a look if I wanted to, but they were pretty much parted out, and about to be crushed.
They had THE MOST destroyed 74 I's ever seen. BUT...the dash was REAL nice. It also had a nice rear-passenger lens that I wanted. So I get to the counter and inquire about those two pieces, as well as the phone-dial rims on the 944 next to it. $125ea for the rims (Ouch!) $125 for the rear light! (Pain!) $250 for the dash! (WTF?!?!?!?) Here's the kicker...THEY had to take the parts out. I wasn't allowed to touch the car with a wrench! So then I asked about the other 914 they said they had, he said they crushed it last week. Me: So you tell me this car is worthless, but it has $500 worth of parts in it? Him: Yeah. Me: And you are going to crush it next week? Him: Yeah. Me: I'll give you $400 for anything I need off the car, and you can crush it later. (Had some good glass on it, and a pretty decent pedal cluster) Him: No way...that car is worth $1,500 easy. Me: But you said you were going to cruch it next week. Him: Yeah. I just walked out...people are idiots. |

Here's what he wrote back...
----------------- Hi Doug, The $250 is for the complete dash, with the gagues in it. If you just need the top pad we can sell that to you for $75. We have to pull the part off due to insurance liability. Let me know. We do have two 914s here. A blue one and an orange one. If you didn't see the orange one I know where it's at and can show it to you when you stop in again. Thanks, Mike ----------------- I replied that I'd be in to look at them again, and that I'd take the dash top for $75. (Score! It's mint!) I'll be sure to get the vins this time for the archives. I'll even take some pics if there is anything else anyone needs off of them. |
