The dash, seats, and back pad all looked good. That glass and the chrome parts were also all in good shape. it looks like that could have easily been rebuilt and sold. Oddly in Texas, there is a GLUT of cars with no title. They are hard to get replaced here and they were obviously too dumb to sell it as a parts car. Not enough 914's down here. too bad too because *things don't fall apart from rust here like up north.

Hell, before he started stabbing it with his forks, some of those body panels looked useful. Just a damn waste.

I have an un-cashed check for $3 and some change from Schnitzer Steel (Pick-N-Pull) for one I cut up....it was to funny, I thought, to cash it.

I always think of the cars first owner to the day it ended up a mess in someones side yard. I rescued a very cool, totally original 74 2.0 once, from a yard in Napa, Ca. Tough to save them all.

My first reaction was "What an idiot." Then I remembered that I myself am almost as guilty. My 1971 911E MFI pump was worn and in need of a rebuild. The usual symptom was gas leaking into the oil supply, and gas-diluted oil isn't very good for any engine. This was late 1980's, nobody local did such work, and back then sending parts cross country for a rebuild was practically unheard of. The usual remedy was to swap for a pair of Webers. The conversion is straightforward so that's what I did. My sin was throwing the entire MFI setup literally into the garbage. That was probably a $5K garbage can.

I bought the same car back many years later and the PO had gone to great lengths to collect restored MFI parts, including a rebuilt correct series MFI pump. I only needed to source the injectors and reinstall the MFI bits.

A friend of mine told me that many early FI Corvette owners made the same mistake. Lesson: Be very careful about what you throw away (or crush), even if your SIGO accuses you of being a hoarder.

the A/C unit would have been worth something


Yeah, that's what I thought. Wasn't someone looking for a DPD A/C system recently?

And like someone on the U-Tube site commented, that rear chrome bumper may have been worth something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Mountainroads,
I know the feeling about junking out stuff worth big bucks today. I junked out a Chev. 283 Corvette motor with Rochester Fuel Injection sitting in the dirt in my Dad's barn. It was in the way & he said get it out of here!! The rest is history. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

First thing I said to myself was - 'that car has a 5 lug conversion!!' after seeing the front wheel.

Watched it again just to see what I missed.

I’ve seen many people document their ignorance and stupidity, this guy’s right up there...
