Ohhhhhh lordy

Mike G. just told me the new buyer of his numbers (all) correct LE want's the bumpers, etc., painted black, no script and fuchs.

He's got a sizable deposit paid...it's his...and he's going to fuck up a real nice and correct creamsicle LE.

What a waste. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Does he not know the rarity of what he has or does he just not care?

I can see modifying a car like mine to all sorts of stupid lengths but why buy and pay a premium an LE only to make look like something else?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

That's funny (sad). I looked at that car and didn't go for it because "I" don't like the look of the LE Creamsicle, and figured it should go to someone who would love it for what it was.

It's just had a complete resto and is being put back together.
Totally correct...only had something like 50k on it.

Mike has tried to talk him into a different car...nope he wants that one and he's paying an LE price.
Doesn't care...he wants a white car with black trim.

That's not the only LE out there what a color change. Here's a local creamsicle car that was painted dark green a number of years ago. I gave Jeff the vin # & we think it's the highest recorded vin# known.

Really beautiful car with lots of modifications (big type-4 motor). The owner does not attend activities and keeps a low profile with the 914 locals.

Pretty sure Mike sold it before he knew the guys intentions. He did sell it as an LE...he got more than a regular 914/4 is worth...he thought it was a selling feature.

He’s a dealer…he has a contract…doubt there’s much he can do about it now.

I prefer the Creamsicle to the BumbleBee as it looks more like the 911 color scheme. Too bad and the buyers an idiot..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chair.gif)

Allegedly, there was a Grasshopper that a guy in Texas (I think it was) bought that he immediately had painted all black. He thought the GH color scheme was "ugly", and didn't care about the rarity.

I heard about it something like ten years ago, and it was "way in the past" at that point even.

He's just painting bumpers and rockers... those can be sprayed red again. No big deal, in my opinion. Yeah, its sorta a waste, but nothing is long gone. Its not original paint, correct? Then it shouldnt matter.
