I bought this car off Ebay about a month ago and I wasn't able to go pick it up until this morning due to school. The seller gave a very vague description on it but it had a 2.0L engine and it was within an hour of my home so I bought it. It wasn't until a few days later that I realized it might be a LE since it was a white 74 with a 2.0L engine and mahle wheels. When I picked it up this morning I saw that the last last five digits of the vin# were 15378 and I also saw orange paint shining through. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) It is not in the LE registry but it is within the range. Here are some pics of what I found.
 Purrty aint she?  You can see the orange paint underneath the gold  Here is a picture of the front bumper.  Front bracket for the spoiler. If you look closely you can see some orange paint on the chunk of fiberglass still there.  No side holes and black trim  Gray headlight covers that were painted black at some point. You can see the grey underneath. |

I have always wanted a LE but I honestly don't know what I am going to do with it now. I will either keep it around or sell it later on. The body is in pretty bad shape however with lots of work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) it should be able to be saved! I have another 914 that has been draining my funds so who knows.
The paint code is L80E via the body tag. The front bumper is original but the rear bumper was replaced at some point. The rear bumper top pad is also is perfect shape so that was a nice additional surprise. The car also came with a prefect set a rivieras wheels as well as SS heat exchangers. I also got a brand new book out of the deal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Jeff, I will send you all the information tomorrow after I can look over the car again. More pictures to come!   |
