Thanks to my uncle needing a rear wiper arm for his 964, it drew me to the Parts Heaven website and their "Wrecks of the Month" pages. Found about 10 914's on their various pages and added them to the list since Parts Heaven is nice enough to include VIN's in their descriptions...

got my hopes up on one since it looked like the VIN was within the LE range, but alas, a missed "1" put it right back with the "normies"

10 more accounted for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Once again, I look at a bunch of parts cars, and at least half appear to be nicer than my own 914!!! Jeez. . .

Parts Heaven actually parted a Bumblebee a couple years ago, even listed it on their website. VIN 4742914724. Drat, I did not find about about it until it was too late.

The BB at EASYs, nearby in Emeryville, may still be available if some one wants it. Still had the original engine last I knew.

How does one go about entering info on a car they do not own? All I see is how to enter my own VIN's

just put in the info as your own...I think what Andy meant was "own" as in the ones you have put the info in for...not "own" as in actually own the car.

Ah, I see. No problem.
If I could get a hold of the box that John Forbes has, I could probably post about 20 of them as rusted, crushed,, wrecked. etc. He has a box of VIN plates from some old cars that were parts or donor cars from the past 30 years....

Yes, that term is meant to be used "losely" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Btw. i can "unown" those VINs for you if you like. Just let me know ...


Thanks for adding them!
