Took a look at a craigslist car today, Strange (to me at least), Bumblebee? Options

[tornik550]

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.

Don't go by anything you SEE......Go by the COA from Porsche.....These cars came with all kinds of different options.........

Check the paint code - if it is L041 then it has a pretty good chance of being a Bumble Bee. The targa trim is black. Hard to tell what kind of air dam is on the front but it could be the LE style painted black. Check for the two tabs extending from the torsion bar covers - only the LEs had those.
Of course, to be sure, need to check the COA.
