Surprise at CA Pull your Parts, white 74 tub, mostly stripped Options

[Brent]

I was at my local "pull your parts" place, looking for parts for my Ricer vehicles, when to my shock was a 914 tub. I offered to buy it outright, but they said they couldn't.

Here is the condition:
LONGS: rusted out battery tray, long showing surface rust. Not in very good shape , but not beyond recovery.

Gone: Drivetrain, gas tank, interior, wheels, markers, front window
FRONT TRUNK: Pristine. No surface rust anywhere. No signs of previous mishaps. White car so any problems would be very visible.

REAR TRUNK: Very clean.

Whats wrong: left side damage, qtr panel, door and fender all have sizable creases.

Whats left: Clean front clip, front hood, right fender, right door, rear deck lid and engine lid. Rear structure, no damage. Dash with one crack (better than both of mine!) rear lens loose inside trunk, pedal assy, most hubs , trailing arms,

Car has been there for a month. Looks like it was garaged until scrapped. Is raining now so soon will show signs of rust EVERYWHERE. I'll take pics tomorrow, if I can make it back there. I think Neo914 was just looking for a front structure piece.

Its not the same as a sawzall party, but I thought there would be some good parts for club members if they acted before the rain takes hold.

This ain't the first, nor last pristine california car that a wrecker will not sell. I have tried to get wreckers to sell 914's, GT6's, even a Bricklin sports car, and they cannot do it (legally)

If the car made it to the wrecker thru the states SMOG SCRAP PROGRAM it is not allowed to be re-sold, it may only be parted out.

I doubt anyone even bought the gas tank, it might have been removed to pull some thing else out of the car, cause in most all cases they are require to puncture the gas tank, rendering it useless, another strange twist to the nazi state of california. I get notices every year around the time lisence fees are do, from the state, offering to buy my older cars for scrap! Even my "modern" 1980 Spitifre to my classic 1958 Ghia gets these notices! FUCK THEM BASTARDS!!!

The smog nazi governor Arnold, the asshole Schwartnieger even passed a law condenming all 1976 and later cars to smog testing forever!!!

Anyway that is the fucked up state of california, run by a movie star.

Meanwhile the "greenies" continue to burn wood for heating in metro areas, causing more smog in the winter than a whale oil burning cadilliac with worn rings.

Time to take back the state, revolution!!!!!!!
