This stuff makes Beverly Hills stuff seam pristine

Oh come on now. Let's go halves on that great looking targa.

It does have a nice piece of rope.

Which shop was this?

Is that in NY?

Yeah, looks like Palmyra?

Wow, lots of stuff, some very interesting.

I'd be after the tools.

2K + miles away!

ALWAYS 2K away....

Lot #122 is a '74 factory L041 paint code with Mahle wheels and a VIN right near the end of the known CanAm/LE range...

The listing says 1.8L but who knows if that's correct or original to the car.

Paging @JeffBowlsby

Thanks for posting.

They have a 1.7/1.8 on there listed as a 2.0 so who knows what is what. I put 25 bucks on the 2.7 l six, and I see that part of the air box is in a separate listing. I don't think the people putting it together really had much knowledge of what they were looking at.

Lot 122 VIN is actually just beyond the LE VIN range. Its just a plain jane 914...NOT an LE.

Not sure if all these parts are physically at the Auction site (Palmyra, NY), but this is very close to where I live. I'd be happy to help if anyone needs local representation.

Did anybody bid, win, pickup anything from this auction lot?

The headlight motor covers look grey and there are sway bar parts in the trunk… would have guessed it was a BB

definitely not a BB.
expansion tank tyre sticker is the giveaway 100%
its for a 1.8 SR tyres. if a 2.0 says HR.

headlight motor covers indicate nothing.
other than its a 74 (either a 1.8 or 2.0) built between 01/74 ad 05/74.
this one has vin 16788.
our research posts last grey at 16808 and return to black at 17848,
fits the bill for just being a grey headlight cover for any 74.

sway bars mean nothing.
i have a 74 1.8 that was ordered with the sway bars and came factory fitted.

engine bay is totally intact 1.8 L jet 49 states.
EC-B engine.

a steal as an L jets part car at $660.00
looks to be a lot of stuff on it still you could strip off.
hell hole area looks like it might be the aftermath of krakatoa.

I brought home a decent mostly solid, mostly complete '74 example. Not as though I need another, but this brings my total to 6, plus a 911S and a 930. From what I understand a long time collector/ Porsche wrench was in ill health. Tons of parts, several 911's and a couple 914's.

is that the black one we are talking about being not a BB?
if so, i wouldn't mind getting some data on the car if you got time at some point.
just to add to our 1.8 L jet research files.
the black one is a latish 74 1.8 and looks pretty intact in a lot of respects despite overall condition.
