I'm not the seller but I have driven this car and received verbal confirmation from PCNA the VIN is an LE. Feel free to PM me for more info.

What a steal, looks amazing!

emailed the seller, no reply, Seems a little fishy. Would think a LE with only 65K would be worth a lot more.

no engine pix??? what is that huge arm rest thing for? Blue seats? It would be worth more if you took it back to LE. Did 74 cars have silver dot gauges?

If it's a steal, buy it.

Early '74s did. I have #700 and it's got silver dots. Don't know the cutoff #.

Those hood badges attached to the door panels look like early orange bar badges worth $500 each minimum if original.

I remember that car was for sale at 20th Street Auto in Phoenix about 11 years ago. I ID'd it for Jeffs Can Am Registry. It did have all the tell tale signs.

From the PM I sent to Jeff 11 years ago...
Paint code = L041
Manf.date = 3/74
VIN = 4742915431 Its not in your registry.... Yet smile.gif
Grey headlight covers
Original Spoiler has the brackets and the round things on the ends (as pictured on your site)
Targa trim is black, but could have been painted.
Hints of yellow on the wheels and in the rockers.
I know it had a front sway bar, never checked the rear at that point I was sure it was an LE.

Call him...I tried email and he did not respond. He responds to voice and texts (Gen X'er). His number is on CL but here it is: 480-231-1207

Yeah, I saw this one too. Could be a great deal for all of those cars. I've been researching Triumph GT6s lateley (love the design) and because of that I've learned a bit about spitfires too. Appear to be fun little cars!

Do you want a 914 or a GT6?
Damnit...make up your mind!

I'm also starting to look at the '68-'76 BMW 2002. Keeping options open

Hmmmm...basically you're just shopping forums and will pick the car to match the forum?
Those are all interesting cars but are totally unrelated.
Maybe you should buy a Boxster? They are great fun (I have two) and you can get a nice one if you shop around.

I don't really want to hijack this thread anymore than we already have, but my main focus has always been the 914. Other interests have just very recently popped up and I'm doing my research. Yes, they are all quite unrelated and have almost nothing in common other than one thing, rust, lol.
I've never been a fan of the boxter for some reason...the Cayman on the other hand I would consider. I guess in general, I don't really like rag tops. I owned an Eclipse Spyder in my early 20s and it was fun, but I prefer coupes and targas these days.
