If you ever parted out a 914 or came across one in a junkyard, we'd like to know about it!

As you may know, we're keeping a database of 914 VIN numbers and one group of special interest are the dead ones.
Parted out, crushed in an accident, cut up or rusted away ...


If you have any VIN numbers and other info (Color, chassis#, build date etc.), please take the time to add those to our database.

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=membervins

You can add as many VINs as you like.

If you don't like to add the VIN yourself, please post the info about the car here and i'll add it to the database for you.

And if you have a picture of the car, even better!
Andy

Will do. Its common to see them in the SoCal, area.

Thanks for the reminder. I was at a shop in Ono, PA today that had a few that I can catalog for the collective

Man I had one w/o title that was an apperence group 72 (3?) with the 2.0 yellow that I robbed for parts back in 98.....sorry thats all I have for you. It was complete and R U S T E D

There are two of them that I've been picking off of at the local pick-a-part. I didn't think to get the info when I was out getting a little part for ZONEDOUBT. I'll try to get the vin info this weekend....anybody need parts while I'm there? One even still has a good windshield.

ohh ya. see if you can fit the right transaxle mount in your pocket..

I parted out and cut up a white 75 2.0 back in 1994 but cannot find the Vin information on it.

I junked this one about 10 years ago, but I didn't keep a record of the Vin#. It was a 75 painted Olympic Blue

Pick n Pull 72 914 found in Sacramento location. Vin is 4722902254, paint scheme L041, original appeared Irish Green. Not yet on our database. Very straight body with minor dent in front right fender. Painted a royal blue metallic. As of 12/22, still has engine decklid, both trunk lids, both light assy's and brows. One light shroud painted white, other is black. many good parts. If I had the cash I would take the entire front clip. Top is missing and interior gone. Floorboards not yet rusting in the rain. Shift Assy appeared new.

L04I would indicate a original black color, not irish green ...

Didn't have my camera and I live in South Bay Area. Was up pulling a window for my Truck, while visiting my mother for the holidays. I am sure some of the Sacto people can get it for you, its hard to miss RIGHT on the main Aisle.

The last letter or number was hard for my forty something year old eye to see clearly.

I just added my 5 vin's today.I have the title to one that was scrapped if I can find it I will add it later.

Pick-n-Pull site shows 914 in Tallahassee FL as of 2/25/2011, one in Calgary as of 2/9/2011, and a new date on one in Sacramento, which may or may not be the one mentioned above, new date of 2/1/2011.

Any info on the one in FL????? There has got to be a bunch of NARPs or 914 Worlders out there!

I just looked over a car listed in posted in CL in our area: "76" vin ..0348
Original L13K Summer Yellow with Tan int. mostly complete typical rust at Sail's & through the lower firewall/floorpan on the Pass. side. Helped the sales dude open the trunk for the 1st time, yup.. 911 reflector with easy access hole. They couldn't figure it out

A couple more I looked at. Pair 74 & 75.
The 75 was Olympic blue (hard to tell from my shots) 1.8L
The Light Ivory 74 was pretty wasted.

In a 75, that would be Laguna Blue. It's less green than Olympic Blue.

--DD

Just curious.
How big is the VIN database now?

Rich

Looks to be just over 7600 though I did notice several VINs listed multiple times.

I've cut up several and found several more in junk yards over the years, doan member the VINs tho...

Multiples don't count against the overall count.

Just added 4752900193 to my list. Fond the door vin tag at the bottom of a box at GPR.

Hello
Speaking numbers, whats the nr. stamped in the trunk by the right taillight?

Chassis Number, should match the number on the Karmann plate in the drivers side door jamb and the number on the back of the dashboard subframe ...

Pick 'n Pull search engine indicates two 914's within 200 miles of my location. One in Fresno, one in Redding. Someone care to scoot over to these and get the VIN#'s?

Parts Heaven is getting one on Monday the 16th. They don't know anything about it yet except that it has been rearended.

So, if I or any one of you, goes that way next week we could get the vin.

I checked out the car in Fresno. Not much left of it. The VIN is (was) 4712920933. I didn't get anyting off the car except a '71 relay board cover and the plastic nuts that hold the tail light lenses on. But then again, who can refuse a drive to Fresno on a 108 degree day?

Thanks Elyut! I added it to the VIN database!

I came across a few rotted souls in Austin.

For the database...

Added to the database, thank you Sir!

The one in Redding was a Scarlet Red 76, but I forgot to get the VIN or pics when I was there in May, passing through a roadtrip to SF. Motor and trans were already gone, except the working to spec (!) MPS, which I pulled and have if someone needs a good 043. I also got the steering wheel, fuel pump, and turn signal, if anyone wants those. All the body panels were there as well, but it looks like its been crushed by now, since it's no longer on the Pick & Pull website.

Whats that on the A pillar? Looks like...............

Thick cracking crappy paint? Im missing something...

Rich, did you note the rare early 914 offset Rivieras on both of those cars?

I pulled a passenger seat and some small parts from a fairly complete red one at a pick-a-part in Gardena, CA several years ago. Didn't think to get the vin

Funny thing - I saw the same car for months, sitting on a trailer that was attached to an old motorhome, parked on a main boulevard in Hawthorne, CA. I left a note on it asking the owner to call me if he was interested in selling. Never heard from the guy.
He probably got only $200 for it ... the going rate for 'scrap' cars around here. I was prepared to offer him $500 for it

Parted out one in 1999
Saturn yellow 1.8L
v.i.n.# 4742912256
Rusted frame went to a scrap yard.

lost souls

Added them to the database, thanks!

I'll go back and check out that junker that I saw for sale yesterday (see the "FS" forum for description). I forgot to get the VIN for the collection.

Andy, here's the VIN tag from the one in my recent post. I can't quite make out a couple of the numbers with 100% certainty.

Black, 1975. Oceanside, CA, on a used car lot currently. I think a 1.8.

Ha, that ad in the link you provided is something! I wonder what he was asking for it on Ebay at that time?

Well, to keep the threads tied together, here is a link to my 914World post regarding the car.

Located on the grounds of what appeared to be a closed auto repair shop, corner of Center Street and Pinellas, Tarpon Springs, FL.

Engine and trannny were missing from the 76, it had been T-boned on the passenger side, severe rust, top has been off for a long time, probably nothing worth saving.

Couldn't get a good look at the 72, but also in poor shape.

Both have been sitting outside for a long time.
