I just got the car home, and I am trying to find out anything about the car.
I know the car is a 74 with a 2.0, but I have no idea about originality, and I would hate to begin chopping up a car if it's anything special.  |

Thank you guys for your posts. So pretty much the only way to know for sure it was an LE would be to get a COA? Am I understanding everyone correctly?
I'm glad you guys are up on this stuff, because I'm not. I wouldn't have even thought about it if I hadn't read a post recently that said that a 74 2.0 is a possible candidate to be an LE, so I looked and then found no Karmann plate, and so..... |

I wouldn't have even thought about it if I hadn't read a post recently that said that a 74 2.0 is a possible candidate to be an LE, so I looked and then found no Karmann plate, and so..... Try calling PCNA's COA dept. & ask very nicely if they can look up your paint code now - before you order your COA, which you plan to do - since the DAPO removed the one on the car so that you'll know what color to repaint it now ...... or something like that. If you get Kristen Rochford, she's usually very nice & helpful, & often gives prelim. info over the phone. Before you call, also look at & take a pic of your engine case no. (just forward of the oil filler tower) & read it off to her to confirm if it's the original engine for the car (should be GA######), which she/they can also check on their Kardex info. on the car. That way you can confirm both if it's a real 2.0 & if it's an LE. BTW Mike - even if it's not an LE but is a factory 2.0, then it's not "just a 914" - but a sought after & highly desirable 73-74 GA motored 2.0!!!!! .... of course I'm highly prejudiced being a 73 2L owner!
