Yes, brought another one home. I had this deal worked out a while ago, but didn't have space to keep it until now. Yes, its a parts car with some nice parts. It is 4712909198 and was last plated in 1977.I don't know why it wasn't after that. The odo shows 74159 miles which I would believe to be original.
This 914 was sold last year from car auction to the guy I bought it from. Of course he never titled it in his name. So title still has last owners name on it. I found an old registration from 1973 and it has the same name as the owner that sold it via the auction company. Kind of cool I think. Also had original owners manual & the 4page install manual for the Motorola radio. I was amazed they were not eaten up by mice. Anyway I think I am going to write the past owner a short letter asking for some history on the car.
I really like finding these cars (parts cars & project cars) kind of like Indiana Jones of 914 only with out the people chasing me.
Here are some pictures and yes I will update the vin data base tomorrow.

I told you that was an old IL plate!
Pretty cool find
Engine and trans in it too?
Miss those days when I would drag home another parts car to disassemble and sell. Looks llike a great parts car! Have fun!
You said "didn't have space to keep it until now." Wow! By the looks of your garage you still don't have space. You look like a 914 hoarder like some members on this forum. Your wife must be very understanding.
What I can't work out is how a car can be left to deteriorate like that having been driven for just 6 years. It has to have been just left outside for a big chunk of the time since and let go. Why do people do that?
I'm liking that trailer!
