$500 for three. Great deal. Someone needs to snatch this up. If I were closer...

Posted by: Sleepin Jun 18 2014, 11:11 AM

Plus my $100 finders fee!

Grab the front spoiler and it's brackets from the LE!!!

Posted by: rgalla9146 Jun 18 2014, 03:35 PM

How do you know it's an LE ?

Posted by: jmill Jun 18 2014, 03:51 PM

74, white, no sail vinyl and factory front sway bar. The guy says it is but you'd have to check the vin and get a COA. Jeff would know more. Don't even know if he has the title for it though. He has the 72 listed with a title.

Unfortunately, there isn't much left of it as an LE
It's definitely cheap enough, though. Would be worth putting back together.

Posted by: Jeff Bowlsby Jun 18 2014, 04:28 PM

With the correct VIN in place, a COA is available. Once an LE, always an LE.

Posted by: Sleepin Jun 18 2014, 05:48 PM

That is what I was thinking. For that price, it would be worth checking out. Once verified, it would be worth a bit more.

From the pics, it looks like a car I sold a few years ago (pretty much in the same shape except for the fender....

See 4742915041 in the VIN database.

Posted by: Jeff Bowlsby Jun 18 2014, 10:23 PM

Any way to verify that Bryan? I contacted the seller for the VIN...no response yet.

ROAD TRIP Good thing they are not closer. My wife would kill me.

Can you blame her?

"Jeff,

On the windshield is 4742915041. On the door tag Karosserie is
819542. I never checked the numbers as I just bought as a parts car.
Guy I purchased from thought it was a creamsicle.

Let me know, Thanks,

Trent"

Its one in the same car, and in the LE VIN range.

Posted by: Johny Blackstain Jun 19 2014, 10:58 AM

Wow, creamsicle chassis bought for $166.66? I'd call that a serious bargain!

Posted by: ConeDodger Jun 19 2014, 12:02 PM

Take another look at that chassis and tell me again about how it's a bargain...

My Dad used to have a phrase he'd say every time I'd drag home a mongrel like that. "You'll have to jack up the radiator cap and run a new car under that."

Nothing is more expensive than a cheap Porsche

Posted by: Johny Blackstain Jun 19 2014, 03:32 PM

Ok, it's not going to be cheap. But $167 bucks is definitely a cheap start. If it came w/ a matching numbers engine I still think it would be worth it. If not then record the number on Jeff's website & scrap it for parts.

Posted by: Sleepin Jun 23 2014, 07:19 PM

Did anyone pick it up?

Posted by: Theclassiccarcoroner Feb 10 2015, 06:24 PM

I did

I bought the car from Trent and paid to have the car shipped from Nevada to Georgia over 2000 miles. The shipping cost 8 times more then the car did lol. But it was 100% worth it. Aside from being incomplete, the floors and rear trunk floor are super solid!

I got verbal conformation over the phone from Porsche that ithe car DOES
have the Can Am option! My COA is on the way.

I will be posting a restoration tread once I'm ready to start on it. Im currently working on getting my 76 914 back on the road.

Suggestion: Use Zambezi Green for the trim colors instead of Phoenix Red...

Posted by: Jeff Bowlsby Feb 10 2015, 06:50 PM

Great project Taylor, thanks for saving this one. Send me an email with your contact information and a copy of the COA and I will up date the LE Registry. Thanks.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Feb 10 2015, 07:02 PM

What a cool way to find a car and a cool car to save.

Posted by: Mark Garriott Feb 10 2015, 07:06 PM

I have a Zambezi green left front corner under the house -- Grasseamsicle!

(Really, I need to get rid of it)

Posted by: Johny Blackstain Feb 10 2015, 08:13 PM

Looking forward to seeing this thread/restoration. BTW- the more homework you do for Porsche & the COA, the better the result will be on the COA the send you.
