Long story short I got a call about a pair of 914s (70 blue & 72 yellow) that have been locked up in a out building since 1982. They haven't seen the light of day until a month ago. The price was right and yes I bought them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)
The owner bought the 72 new and in 73 joined the Air Force and was stationed in England. He had the car shipped over and spent 73-77 there. While there it had a fender bender in the right rear that was repaired badly. Once back home he drove it until the plates expired in 82 and parked it in the out building along with a 70 that he bought in 81 to be a parts car for his 72. The 70 is folding in half and it is a parts car. The 72 has the usual hell hole & pass long issues that I have seen so far and I expect it to get worse when I really start to dig into it. I like finding these (and other old car) cars that have been hidden away for years. Some I was able to bring back to life and some become parts cars. I know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) so here you go. Frist pic is after I spent an hour with the owner clearing out the front area of the building to get to the cars. The rest of the pics you can figure out for your self.
