What was a beautiful 1974 2.0L Appearance Group car with factory f/r sway bars.
Color was L96B - Alaska Blue Metallic.
Motor: GA009175
It was hit hard in the rear (previous owner). Motor is fine, but the trans where the starter sits cracked a tab off. In reality, it took the impact really well.
We pulled parts that we could and need for the 74 Bumblebee (gas tank, windshield, etc) and others.
Now, at the crusher.
I added it to the VIN database.

Still a lot of meat left on that bone, specially in the rusty part of the country.

We pulled nearly everything off (Fuchs included)
I really like that color as well.

What I really like with this 914, several 914s accident that really damaged the front trank or rear trank like this but the cockpit is pretty much intact and the door gap is still almost perfect.

Any idea on the history of the car? I restored an Alaska Blue '74 way back in the 80's, but lost the vin, and haven't had any luck tracking down what happened to it. Didn't have Fuch's back then tho'...

What happened to the broken trans?

I would have rescued the front clip - cut right across as far back as possible. Maybe the entire longs just for fun. If it was a rust bucket, I wonder what the damage would have looked like...

Nobody wanted any of the meat off of the front of that car?
Sad to see one go.

I would give you what the crusher will pay for the rest of the car. I'll send you a PM. Any rust in the front trunk or the front panel?
Edit: I didn't see it was already at the crusher.

I would think before I sent it to the crusher I would offer it up for FREE here or on craigslist. Scrap prices are very very low right now, so scrapping it probably netted about $35. Someone could have used what was left, or made yard art, anything other then turning a Porsche into an appliance.
