Earth to Earth, Rust to Rust this one is going back to its maker.
VIN 4732917401 Colorado Springs salvage yard for a little while longer. https://upullandpay.com/search-inventory/ve...vinLocationId=5 Can't get the driver door open to check other plates. Currently black and very rusted. Some decent parts are being salvaged. Interior is almost all scrap, steel wheels, engine and FI still mostly there, trans just taken yesterday, trunk gone, front hood hit with a fork lift. Listed as a 74 on the lot, but VIN says 73. Sad to see these go. @SirAndy  |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Hey @SirAndy Ive a puzzler. Was contacted to perform a PPI on local car FS.

Andy, would you add this VIN to the graveyard?
Not mine, and not much left either. - VIN: 4742904369 - Details: Sitting dead out behind the barn. Rusted and stripped. Likely used as a parts care so that another one could live on. - Engine Number: not there - Chassis Number: 959601 - Build-Date (Sticker on drivers side rear door jamb): 10/7x - Paintcode: L99A, Delphi Green Metallic         Little in the way of parts remain. Every panel, if there, is rusted through or bent, usually both. It is a broken, rusted shell but not yet in the 914 VIN database. |

Ouch. Ugly. VIN is a tad before mine and I think close to Big Len. Probably 10/73 DOT label.

Finally getting around to posting. All 3 cars were at the Nordstern Region's get-together at Maplewood (MN) Porsche on September 10, 2023.
First:   Talked to the owner for a few minutes; IIRC he said the car was relatively new to him. Car is listed in the CANAM/LE database. Amazingly clean for a car that appears to have spent it's whole life in MN... Next:   Car is registered in Wisconsin and used mostly for autocross and other events. Carb'ed/mod'ed engine. Other mod's too as you can see from the frunk hood. Neither car is in this site's database.... |

Finally, Scott Engebretson's '72:
 This picture is from a Nordstern Region event earlier in the year. He was also at the September get-together (you can see his blue car parked behind the green one in the previous post).  Scott visits this site from time to time, but I noticed his car wasn't in our database... FWIW, I didn't add any of these to the database as they're not "my cars." |

Hello @sirandy ,
Added a 1971 914 (VIN 4712908462) that is not mine, but what appears abandoned on a local street. Would be greatly appreciated if you could unlink me from the database entry. I linked a photo in the database entry and below are more photos.       Thanks, Ken |

I added this 1974 Alaska Blue 2.0, VIN 4742920987. I bought this as a rough but running street car 1992 and built it into a dedicated SCCA and PCA race car. A moderately big collision on-track at Texas World Speedway (not my fault--honest!) ended the car. After removing all running gear and the roll cage, I took the shell for scrap.
