Okay well I bought another LE today. The guy I have working on my Creamsicle has one. It has the grasshopper look to it but no biggie. It will be a huge project & one I do over time. As soon as my 1st one is finished & sold. I will begin work on either this one or my Bumblebee. I think the Bee isn't quite as big a resto. So it will probably be first unless someone buys it so I don't have to restore it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .
Anyway this is second owner car. He has reciepts dating back to it's purchase from the original owners. Front valance isn't an original but is a solid repro. Besides the hell hole rust it has some in the rear trunk. The back section below the tailights will need replaced. Front trunk is solid but need a little straightening. Looks like someone tried to us a floor jack dead center there & pushed it up a bit. Not bad though. It has all 5 Mahle wheels (painted green). Dash is cracked (big shocker I know) but otherwise the interior is pretty nice. Seats were out of it but he has them. I've got to send out for a COA to be 100% sure it is in fact a Creamsicle. I would say I am at least 95% it is though. It has all the tell tale signs. Just a bummer the hell hole is so bad. It is definately down in the longitude. It is definately worse than my first Creamsicle as far as rust goes. This is a little crazy as this give me 3 LE 914's tight now. I got hosed on a craigslist deal over the weekend. So this makes up for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s) |

Doesn't sound crazy to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Maybe you could sell a pair for $60k like the two Bumblebees for sale at $60k!

The motor does have a bad bearing. He said it will need a line bore? Anybody have anyone good for that?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Looks good from the photos. You should be doing something more productive with your time like buying lottery tickets or picking stocks. Nice score.

Be nice to find someone in my neck of the woods to do the machine work. Not exactly convenient to run up there for it. Oh well it will be a little while anyway. I was going to pick it up friday. I am home sick unfortunately with strep throat. So it looks more like early next week. Hopefully I will get some good news on MY creamsicle he is working on. Was waiting on hoses for my FI vacumm stuff. Luckily Craig at camp914 had some he sent down. Order a kit from AA but unfortunately that was 5 weeks ago & it still isn't here. I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Jamie,
You know you can make a small fortune restoring these 914's, problem is you have to start with a large fortune. Jerry |
