Yep....step up or forever STFU.....

Sure thing, Pat. I'll send you a PM.

if you sell the car to Pat I get a commision since I pointed him your way

If he buys it you just lost your commission because you were going to get the near-perfect US tail lights

easy come, easy go

oh damn, I forgot about those..forget it Pat, don't buy a thing from Jon, I wouldn't trust him to walk my dog, I'd buy from before I gave up my hard earned money to this Jon fellow...who can trust a suby-powered-bontempi-flared 914 owner?????

Hey! I recognize that garage!

Well, if Pat balks at the purchase (please, please, please... ), and you do chop her up. The parts needed are essentially the pivot points of the rear suspension (console [inner], and ear [outer])....#318 in the pic, and the corresponding outer piece (both sides.....please, please, please.... )

Roger that, even though I don't look forward to cutting those out.

Jon has not learned his lesson yet...you couldn't pay me to cut up another 914...too much damn work.....

Uh oh, the last 914 I cut up was with you at the Palo Alto shop

Remember, we couldn't decide which we liked better, the plasma cutter or the sawzall.

Jon, you can just whack the consoles at the red line, longs and all, and ship them in two big chunks. I'd be more than glad to sort it out in my garage.....the '74 ain't goin' no where 'til they're replaced.

You ship the car, I'll give him $3K.

Here are the current standings:

"I'll buy it" = 0 votes
"Chop it up, I need part X" = whole lotta votes
"Don't do it, think of the children" = a few votes

I'll entertain serious offers for the whole car until tomorrow, 6PM PST before I start serious dismantling. Think of me as the mafia boss in The Simpson's. "I do not want to do this but you are leaving me no choice. I am a legitamate businessman."

Oh, and whoever estimated $2k to ship to the east coast, that sounds way high. I'm thinking $1k at most. This car runs so it shouldn't need special attention from the shippers.

I priced a shipment from WAAAAY north Cali, to Kansas City. was about $700. So a grand seems about right to the east coast.




I'd hate to see such a decent car cut up, but....

JIC, can you shoot me a price for the drivers front corner? Basically the area from front to behind the bucket, and from the fender to the far inside of the bucket. Seems special K beat me to the console. Oh, and any scraps of the front trunk weatherseal channel that you chop off.

It cost me $1500 coast-coast, back when gas was cheap.

holy crap...somebody decide on this car....

I called the 904 Guage and the Battery Tray metal (from firewall to rear trunk....)

I'll buy the blades!

that's NOT a 904 gauge... just a 911 press/temp gauge

oh....wait a F-N second...is it CHT or just oil temp?

sorry bout that, i've never really seen a 911, rode in one though. blindfolded and arms tied behind my back....long story

It's oil temp and oil pressure, it's a 911 gauge.

If the buyer for the engine doesn't want the gauge or the senders that drive it, you have the first shot at it.

How much for the engine?

if I had the room and $$$ I'd buy it...

Instead of being such a self centered asshole and cutting up a car that people here would kill for, why don't you be a man and donate the car to someone who wants a 914 badly, and would fix the car?

We have people here on the club that want a 914 badly. It won't harm you in the least to leave that car intact and on the road.


Instead you are acting like a 15 year old female cock-tease. Flaunting around what you know most of the folks here either can't afford to buy, or can't get to the car to rescue it from you.

If it were here, I would rescue it. Instead it goes to the sawzall just because you want to cut up a car.

I used to respect you.... note the use of the words "used to".

Remember, they don't make them anymore.

Lets raffle this thing off.

jon sell the car for what you paid and a finders fee ( 500 ) so you get some thing out of it. it is too nice to cut, guys here fix cars like that for a week end project ( many week ends )

this is right along the lines of the people who threaten to kill a cat/dog what ever unless people send them money

also this is along the lines of # 4 in my mind, taking something that is nice and fucking it up. that car or #4 will never be replacable and you just want to destroy it

if you cut it up i agree with clay 10000% .... i already agree with him on the respect issue

Holy crap! If I ever need to part a car, I'm sure the hell not going to post pictures first. This is California, get over it. I have seen 914s with perfect bodies at pick-n-pull soely because they weren't pre-smog. When I was at partsheaven, I saw 914s in better shape stacked on top of each other. There are times when the parts are worth more than the car as a whole. It's his car.. he can do what he wants. He's only trying to help us out with parts by posting here. Give him a break! No matter what you think, you are not the 914 morality police. You have a say about what happens to your own car, nobody else does. Same goes for Jon. Rant over.

Sacrifice one to save many

DAAAAAMNN Clay! Pretty harsh, don't ya think?

Think of it as an "organ donor program". The metal and mechanical parts of this one car can get mine, and numerous other "cancer victims" happily toolin' down the road again. He obviously doesn't want it, and I for one am glad that he's willing to take the time and effort to part it out, rather than send it to the junkyard/crusher.


Oh, I forgot....you and Scott already have solid running cars.

He has set an arbitrary time limit, and I can't get to California to get the car. Plus he WANTS to cut it up. That is evidenced by the price he set.

Yes, I can see cutting up the real rust buckets and using the parts to fix others. But this is NOT a rust bucket. My car was worse than that one when I started fixing it. That car deserves to be fixed, not cut up.

It's hard for anyone from the land of plentiful 914s to understand.

What does heir burgermeister mean?

your right it is his car, and you are wrong he is not trying to help us with parts he is trying to make money... he said that and there is nothing wrong with making money. but the car can be saved easily

as for the cars in the junk yards if they were whole running cars then that was wrong too, but the junk yards dont see these cars like we do.

and bondo if you car ever gets any damage and i mean fixable damage i will volunteer to fly cross country to cut yours up for ya

As I understand it, the time limit isn't really arbitrary. It's wife-itary and storage-itary
