I'm stuck writing a research paper for school. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Fortunatly I had the choice of my own topic, so what did I choose? The 914 of course.

So here's the bad part-- I can't seem to find some vital information about them. Hopefully someone here can hook me up with some info (paticurally with a reference I can list as a sourse)

How many 914's are there currently estimated in the US?

I couldn't give the cars away, so to the chopping block they went...

We've cut up 3 cars around here in the last year. All had structural rust somewhere and the parts went to people that needed them. The parts that no one wanted went to the scrapyard.

At a certain point, it becomes more advantageous to cut the car up and free up the space than it is to stockpile rusty shells.

Unfortunately...that's the way it goes.

Yeah,
That about the way it is here, too. We are running out of storage for cars, and some saveable cars are being axed. Thankfully, sometimes some of them get saved, at least in part. The front cut on the F production car that David Finch built was one of them. But we also recently sold a shell to a guy who just wanted a vin. I know that one never made if back off his trailer before it went to the junkyard...
