Well, it has been a long day travelling over 500 miles round trip to pick up a disguised LE Creamsicle

Some hell hole damage and into the long but not as bad as some I have seen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
Had been repainted white many years ago - bumper covers and all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Brown interior has been dyed black (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Been sitting for the past 15+ years mostly under cover. Last ran about 10 years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Is definitely an LE as there is the phoenix red showing on the rims and elsewhere on the body. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

First off get a COA coming from Porsche. That is the only way to truly know it is an original. Couple other things to check to be sure is there is no holes from the side trim sail vinyl. check that from underneath as if they were filed you will know. Also the LE front valance wich is definately not on the car. There are 2 tabs that the LE valance has no other front valance has. If it has those up front it is pretty much a lock.

Congrats on your find. I don't want to be a downer either as I found one myself along those lines. Just saying you won't know for sure unti you get a COA. Keep us posted! Love LE's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

YES, the tabs are there! Folded over because behind the air dam was a stock style valence.

Here are some pics of the front after I removed the bumper, air dam and valence. Plenty of phoenix red (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and plenty of rust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
