Wow. Looked better than what some guys here have started with for a restoration. When he said "There's nothing in here I need" I think the uneducated hillbilly was looking for an engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Too bad, the trunk lid letters are probably worth more than what he'll get in scrap...

What waste is right. So many salvageable parts. I wonder how it ended up on the crusher.

I totally agree. Its also a shame to see a car like that get crushed. I wonder what the scrap value really is these days.

What a bummer. Door handles, early (!) bumpers, targa bar trim, interior parts, lights, lids, glass, and much more looked like good parts. And it sure looks like worse chassis than this one have been saved.

Doubt it's the first time this has happened to a 914, but suspect the quote above, if posted in the Youtube comments, would probably kill the guy...but maybe he'd think twice about crushing old sports cars.

"I don't see anything there I need."

Well duh? None of those parts fit on a redneck '86 Chevy pickup with beer cans in the bed.
