I was looking around craigslist last night and saw that someone was having a garage sale today and they had a 914 for sale. I decided to stop by and take a look. It was cool looking (of coarse- its a 914). The lady didn't know a whole lot about it.

I thought that it was somewhat interesting because of the paint scheme. It looks kind of like a reverse bumblebee. The car was clearly repainted at some point and I figured that the person just tried to make it look like a L.E.

I was wondering if Porsche had a factory option in 74 that gave the car a similar paint scheme as the L.E. models. This car yellow, yellow bumpers, yellow pedrinis, 2.0l. the sails are black but it was painted black.

What does everyone think- just a look a like?

I told the lady that I would post it on here to see if we could get the car a nice home. I posted it in the classified section.

Considering 4742914661 and 4742914667 are both Bumblebees. I would venture to say that it is an LE...perhaps. Maybe someone wanted to reverse the paintjob. I would be jumping all over it, especially if there was no evidence of the lower aluminum sail trim being there!

I would also get in contact with Jeff Bowlsby, and get his input.
