Vanished Canary: Rare 1971 Porsche 914 Disappears in Pasadena

Heartbreak in the City of Roses as a beloved Porsche 914 vanishes without a trace.

Pasadena, California, a city known for its sunshine and orange groves, is now shrouded in a cloud of mystery. A rare 1971 Porsche 914  has been snatched from the streets, leaving its owner devastated and the Pasadena PD scrambling for answers.

The Porsche 914, a collaboration between Porsche and Volkswagen, was known for its affordability and sporty handling. Nicknamed the “poor man’s Porsche,” it offered a slice of German engineering to a wider audience. The 1971 model year holds a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts, and this particular sunshine-yellow example is sure to be missed dearly.

A History of Targeted Theft?

While beloved by enthusiasts, the Porsche 914 has also found itself on the radar of less savory characters. Their relatively simple construction and shared parts with Volkswagens made them attractive targets for thieves in the past. There have been reports of organized theft rings targeting specific models and colors, so investigators will likely be looking into this possibility.
