914 Search - looking for 4732908732
Greetings,
I’ve reached a dead-end on my search for 4732908732 - 1973 Olympic Blue 1.7
This was my first car in 1985 and I drove it until I totaled it in Atlanta in 1996.
It ended up with George Hussey at Automobile Atlanta sometime after that - according to the 914 VIN Registry - but the trail goes cold after that.
George posted it in the Registry for sale - when is not known - but the metadata in the associated picture shows as it was taken in 2005.
Last known registration information is to my father in Iowa in 1996 and it’s listed as a salvage title.
George thinks that he sold it as a fixer-upper (rather than a parts-car) but anything is possible. He’s been very helpful but it was a long time ago, in the days of paper records and he does a lot of business. He’s still looking as well but I thought I’d throw this out there. I might get lucky.
Any assistance is appreciated - I’d love to spend an inordinate amount of money to restore it…..

Inordinate amount of money is right. Why not buy a cleaner and straighter one with the right interior and paint it that same color?
You might have better luck on 914-World than Rennlist as it's a much more active 914 community.

Oh, they're easy to find...but this one was mine. And when I first got wind that George had it, I thought it would be an easy get. But now....I'm in it for the chase. I've posted on the world as well but here trying to cast the net a little wider.
