someone out there should grab this car and restore it. Being rust free and actually not obviously restored before, one just has a wreck to deal with and that is a lot easier than repairing rust

Turns out it does have a 914/6 motor, # 6404072. Here are some pics of the car in 1979 in the snowy days of New Hampshire.

How the hell did it get all the additional damage if it has been sitting since 1979? Someone use it for demo derby target practice? |

Most clapped out 356's weren't either. As for condition, junk yards aren't known for handling things with kid gloves. I've seen intact Corvettes picked up with a fork lift and moved. It's one of those cars that may reappear with a perfect (donor) body and correct VIN numbers. |

It's one of those cars that may reappear with a perfect (donor) body and correct VIN numbers. Honestly, that car needs so many replacement items that raising the VIN plate on a lift and sliding underneath it a donor chassis, it won't be a whole lot different in the end...after all, if you replace each part one-by-one you pretty much end up in the same place. How much has to be original to be considered the same car? And before you answer that question ask yourself: how would you know? Other than the VIN plates and the engine and trans numbers, everything else can be replaced inidividually and it's "still the same car". And before you get all indignant and stuff , it's a common argument among classic airplane restorers as well. They'll go through hell and high water (and Pacific jungles) to recover key bits and a data plate. I've often wondered how much of Glacier Girl is actually original... And, damn near a century later, that argument ain't been settled. And it won't here. Bottom line: if it's worth it, someone will do it. |
