My friend turned me on to the craigslist ad which listed a bunch of 914s, airplane parts, an Alfa, etc etc. We were the first to make it out the the huge estate with its own private, paved airstrip and huge hangars full of wonderful machines. All sorts of cars, airplanes and tons of 914 parts and '73/74 cars that need a loving home.
I put everything from the day in one big gallery, so you'll have to look at non-914 content too. Oh, and I tried to shoot VINs when I thought of it. I know the '75 he'll pretty much give to the right person. We didn't discuss costs too much. Nice kid, father passed away recently and there's more there than he can really deal with. Wants cars to go to loving homes vs. the wreckers. He's keeping the red one with fresh'ish paint for himself. More people showed up after we left Saturday, so I don't know what's left.
