I am new to the forum. So I don't know where to post this.

But I am working on saving 3 914s from a closing scrapyard. Currently in email/text limbo.

I do know that one is supposed to have a title, another has a motor and transmission, and the third is just parts I am guessing. No vins yet, will update when I know more.

Update: Wife is cool with the plan, so that's a plus! 😂

Post the VIN numbers here even if they do end up in the crusher. Some moderator will move this to the garage section. @SirAndy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)

I am going to try and look at them this weekend. I will get some photos and the vins. They won't be going to the crusher if I can help it!

Well I have bad news. My storage place, and my transport both have fallen through in the last few hours. And on top of that, the seller isn't very forthcoming with info. I don't even have an address for the vehicles. It just seems like a bad situation to push through with.

Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up. I know mine were.

Have you actually talked to the seller? Or just trying to work through texts and emails? Speaking to people often times works better.

All I have is an email address. So I don't have much choice.
