Very sad to see, but here is a white 914-6 that looks totaled (side-impact).

Someone should rescue some very valuable parts including the 2.0L 6-cyl, fuchs rims, suspension, etc...

I believe that car was on ebay a while back. It is familiar to me. I think it came from Michigan (or one of the northern states) to the foriegn car lot it is currently in.

Ok, I'm done with the pictures.

Here in PA, we have the Auto Locator, and back in Nov. this car was advertised there by a company called rebuildables-online. They were about 2.5 hours from where I live (Philly/Allentown area), so I hopped in the car and went to see it. This is what I found:

(IMG:http://iesforums.org/wrecked/front2.jpg)

If I remember correctly the hood wouldn't close. It was very complete and had a few extras like the aforementioned sport seats. I was told it was owned by an enthusiast who used it for auto-x and DE's

Looked like a well taken care of stock 2.0. Notice the Optima and watershields. Had very solid original HE's as well
(IMG:http://iesforums.org/wrecked/engine.jpg)
Pretty rustfree, it was in a dirt lot in the start of winter, so while I did crawl around on the ground, I didn't get any shots. The trunks were clean (except for a some accident damage)

The flares are fiberglass, but I'm sure they looked pretty nice at one point:

(IMG:http://iesforums.org/wrecked/ouch.jpg)

Well, them's the details. They were asking $7900 and wouldn't budge, I laughed at them and checked every once in a while to see if they still had it and if they'd lowered the price. I checked a few weeks ago and it was gone, I guess I know where now.

So that's it, 914-6 #0275

Steel flares..

I could straighten it. Cellete bench..jigs... 8 hours worth of pulling time/setup. Good as new when done.

That one isn't fixable.

The estimate would say "Remove left rear wheel" "replace on lkq car".

Brad,

Who do you know with a Cellete bench in the south east? I am looking for someone to pull my car back into shape this summer. If that is not the case I may be cutting and welding in a new drivers side suspension console.

That would make for an awesome parts car. I'd take the seats, dash, bumpers, oil tank, optima, windshield washer motor, steel flairs, motor/cabs.......amazing parts on that car!

If someone could save that and rebuild it...a SERIOUS project that'd be great too. If I weren't in the east....

I just spoke with the people selling it and they have received a deposit! The guy didn't know how much it sold for but said he thought it was between $7500 and $8000!
