In a 75, that would be Laguna Blue. It's less green than Olympic Blue.

Looks to be just over 7600 though I did notice several VINs listed multiple times.

Multiples don't count against the overall count.

Chassis Number, should match the number on the Karmann plate in the drivers side door jamb and the number on the back of the dashboard subframe ...

I checked out the car in Fresno. Not much left of it. The VIN is (was) 4712920933. I didn't get anyting off the car except a '71 relay board cover and the plastic nuts that hold the tail light lenses on. But then again, who can refuse a drive to Fresno on a 108 degree day?

The one in Redding was a Scarlet Red 76, but I forgot to get the VIN or pics when I was there in May, passing through a roadtrip to SF. Motor and trans were already gone, except the working to spec (!) MPS, which I pulled and have if someone needs a good 043. I also got the steering wheel, fuel pump, and turn signal, if anyone wants those. All the body panels were there as well, but it looks like its been crushed by now, since it's no longer on the Pick & Pull website.

Rich, did you note the rare early 914 offset Rivieras on both of those cars?

I pulled a passenger seat and some small parts from a fairly complete red one at a pick-a-part in Gardena, CA several years ago. Didn't think to get the vin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Funny thing - I saw the same car for months, sitting on a trailer that was attached to an old motorhome, parked on a main boulevard in Hawthorne, CA. I left a note on it asking the owner to call me if he was interested in selling. Never heard from the guy.
He probably got only $200 for it ... the going rate for 'scrap' cars around here. I was prepared to offer him $500 for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
