Accessible only by ATV you say? I know it's not a 914, but thought you guys might like to see one more saved, in this case an early Pre-A.

I want everyone to closely read and look at the pictures of what was left of 550-0001 when it was found in a shoe factory in Mexico. How much of that car is original? But I bet you won't find one person who would walk into the Collier Collection and called it a reproduction. If you own the car, and replace 99% of it, you still own the car. What you can't do is what a lot of guys try to do, build the car off an old part of the car. There was a guy who had a Carrera Speedster he said, he put the number out there and a guy in Sweden popped up and he had the car, turns out the 1st guy bought a pair of doors with a story of how the car was scrapped, well, it wasn't and he was commiting fraud, trying to build a car around a pair of doors. Or another guy who bought a bunch of RSR leftover parts, found a chassis and starting building the car, only to get $250,000 into it, about to take it to Amelia Island and some guy in Denmark said he had the burned up shell in his backyard.
But if you own the car and build it, that's the car. Check out 550-0001. https://unobtaniuminc.wordpress.com/2011/09...e-giant-killer/ Attached image(s)
