Saw this one today when picking up some parts. They are parting it out although there doesn't seem to be much left. Has silver-button gauges and a blue dash. Motor was out of the car but I didn't check it out. The shop owner said it's a '72 front with a '75 rear welded on. It's sagging in the middle.
I've added it to the VIN database.

Thank you Sir!
Shoot, it looks like it was a Carrera model too.

Are the silver button gauges special/valuable?

They're from the early 70-73 cars (and I believe VERY early 74). They're also glass and not plastic.

No but the gauges are probably the only thing of value on this particular car. I know the silver buttons make my car about 1.3% faster than cars with the later gauges
So technically 2 914's gone. (72 front 75 rear)
