It was just a week ago and I was joking about this possibility.

Take a closer look

did you get the VIN??? hahahaha


yep, so sad....it'll be recycled into a dishwasher now....

This is a barge that comes from Albany NY once a week. Tomorrow morning it will be loaded into "THE SHREADER". I will be having the car set asside for a proper burial Then when I am finished taking off any parts that can be saved I will load it in "THE SHREADER". Don't worry I will post pictures.

Doh! I think that chrome bumper is nicer than mine.

That lense looks good.

NY plates still on the car.

OK if you are a mamber here fess up!

If I can save anything I will.

The car looks like it was in great shape.

Passange rear lens still looks good.

No chance for the bumper, but the chrome is really nice.

I'll take that left rear brake caliper please...


..

that friggen bumper top looks perfect...compared to mine...

Yea...it oughta be a crime for someone to crush a perfectly good Mercury Topaz like that.

Check into the outside door handles

Door handles..

Do you think the rear springs are still good?

there ought to be a national moratorium on crushing collectibles (not just porsche's, but any of them). i know no one will ever crush a fastback again!

maybe a d-base that recyclers could enter cars into and give a months warning... interfaced with various club sites to alert concened members.

i mean if we can drop part of our lives for a ppi, i could certainly make it to a bone yard before something even remotely salvageable gets flattened!

Leo you should have jumped on there, pryed off the 914 badge and raised it up in victory...

Looks like a Zambize too. Leo, remove the 914 emblem as a memorial.
Very sad.
Comming from NY, it may have been all rusted to sheeat.

Maybe take a pic of your car w/the "to be shredded" car in the background... Or threaten your car... "if you don't start working properly, you'll end up like your zambizi friend over there!!!".

first thing that popped into my mind as well ...

Andy

Isn't that the rare 1970 bumper highly prized by 6 restorers?

Rear trunk lock
914 script on back
Lens
Muffler bearings

We can rebuild it...

Turn on Speakers and click here!

i don't get it.... what's so funny about a barge loaded with rust free East coast 914's.... don't you guys know about Bondo?

"Yeah, we can straighten that out for ya..."

I got one just like that in my local scrap yard here.


I spent half this past Saturday morning stripping what I could save.

Just makes ya sad.



Ron

There's control arms on there!! Hubs and all!!!

I will get everything I can.

I've seen AA put worse looking 914s on ebay!

can you save the vin tag on the windshield and in the front trunk for me??

I get dibbs on the windshield

not sure about NJ, but that is illegal in this and many other states

I believe its illegal everywhere. Messing with cars is a felony . . . use this info as you like .

im not going to sell them or use them on another car...??.. I just wanted to collect a whole bunch, and frame them and put "In Memory of" on top of all of them... Is that Illegal too??

Ok. Its probably illegal to collect them at all, but as long as you aren't putting them on a car I don't think anyone will care.

I have a wall full of VINs.....

BTW, that'll buff out easy.

Leo,

Wow, you sure know how to turn on the 914 junk yard dogs.\

Here's my secrete Junk yard stash that only my good 914 buddy Gary Stellmack knows about. Made him promise to never tell the location or I will kick out his 914-6 windows.

Tom

another junker

hmm...I need the dash, window cranks, center console and armrests....

Dude, get the parts and build Elvis a "side car"....

WOW! Can we say "psycadellic"?
Let's play the "Guess how many colors is on this 914." game.

sweet secret stash! Where I grew up, there was one like that with old bugs....

Hi All,

Now here's the rest of the (real) story.

The first interior picture is actually my parts car stored at a buddy's yard.

The other junk yard pictures were taken about 1993 after I purchased my car. Good buddy Gary & I found this junk yard & stripped everything we thought we needed. There were about (10) 914 carcass's laying around this field. The owner stripped most of the parts and had them stored on his fathers property. At that time we didn't know much about 914's & passed up lots of good stuff. I'll try to find more pictures of piles & piles of 914 stuff. We cherry picked a lot of stuff (cheap) and later found out his parents sold their farm and had to get rid of everything. The had a CAT dozer on the property and dug a big hole, pushed everything into the hole. It's buried w/914 bodies, etc. 914 stuff north of Pontiac, MI
Sad, sad story. At that time in 1993 we never thought this stuff would be valuable. I remember one 914 with flares in the barn & always wondered if it was buried or a 914-6?????

Tom

Here she comes

Some good stuff here

Hey Eric Shea,
Look at these!!!
They can be saved and they will

And this set is for Toast.

This is great! LMAO!

the engine was crushed too?

I bet they couldn't find it.

It's in one of the pictures above.

Leo, put that thing on eBay!

I know, I saw that.

I bet its less rusted than mine is.

I'm not sure, but that wheel looks a lot like a Cosmic Wheel, made in England. They were popular with the British roadster and Mini crowd at one time.
