From what I've seen & read here on this forum, this looks like a gold mine- in England. Be nice to buy them up cheap & stash them inside someplace for the future. Since the vast majority of 914's came to the US we're going to control the 914 market in Europe someday, if not already.

What's the color code on the redish '75?

PS: Save them!

PPS: Looks like at least two '75/'76 cars, the white one and the red one.

I must say, it is pretty sad to see them suffering and dying a slow, miserable death. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

If the 914World community doesn't save them, who will?

This calls for crowd funding and negotiation! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Perhaps some guys would be willing to pay for a few parts up front so you can get some of the money coming in before you pick them up?

I suggest, if you have a space for them, which I presume you must, otherwise you wouldn't even be considering this purchase, then take a bunch of photos of parts which will get some money easily and put a list of those items together in an excel table and add up how you might be able to recoup $1,000-$2,000 quickly.

If you have a hard time fining decent-looking parts to photograph because everything is wasted, well, then, I wouldn't bother with the time and effort. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Why is the 71 supposed to be the star of the show? The orange 73 or 74 (tits on the bumper) looks to be in less-bad shape...

The orange one with the tits on the front bumper is the '71 that is in the best shape overall. Someone put the wrong bumper on it.

I couldn't get the door open enough to get the color code on the redish '75. The VIN on that car is - 4752910025

What ya thinking?

Can we find out through the VIN. Maybe through PCA?

The COA would tell you but i think it's easier if you just buy the lot and then look at the paint code.

Thanks for all the input. I have no interest in being in the used parts business, per se. I just buy 914s when it makes sense. At this price I don't think these make sense. I am tempted by the '71 tangerine car. But $1,500 is still too high, IMHO.

IIRC, last year, George posted a survey. He was moving and wondered if he should spend the $ and move his scrap yard or crush them all. The vote was to move the yard. I bet he will not want to add to his yard now.

THese cars have been gone for a long time, no one needed them, so they really should not be missed.... for now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Run. As for King G, he always says that about his shit yard, and puts it up for sale, and nobody buys it.

Dont consider the transmissions worth much. It looks like they have been loving the ground. Insides likely crusted, outsides likely eroded. Its been a loooooong time since I parted a 914 so I have no idea about the prices of things, but I do remember the labor to part and sell and that sucks unless you are dedicated. Maybe someone here can scoop them up and pay a finders fee or something. There are good guys here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Na, bad idea. They ain't worth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) over here.

@ original poster- if yer not at all interested in the work to part these cars out I have no idea why you've even considered taking them in the first place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I just wanted to get opinions. I hate to see them rot. I'd love to save them all. But I need to keep my eye on the ball.
