[Mike Fitton]

Check this 914 Bumble Bee for sale on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1974-Porsch...=item35b78b9b09

I know vin# and paint code say it is possible but notice:
1) Sail panels coverd in vinyl with chrome trim
2) Rear 914-2.0 badge not in black plastic
3) rear lenses are euro version not re/white USA.

What do you guys think!

It might be a LE, but the Seller has been hitting the Crack Pipe a few times too many.

1. Doesn't run
2. Big Dent
3. Ripped up Interior
4. Rusted Battery Tray - Good chance there is a lot more Rust
5. Ratty Engine Compartment

Basically a 914 that needs to be restored, but at a Cost of $17k - Get Real

No Offense to LE Lovers, but I have never gotten the LE thing. A gussied-up 74 is all I have ever seen. And I can't stand the "more Rare than a 914-6". It's a 74 914 with an Ugly Paint Job that anybody could duplicate. You can't duplicate a Real 914-6.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) TC it seems its you who needs to step away from the pipe? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)
Just as you are describing the possibility to duplicate an actual LE its equally possible to duplicate a -6, in fact its done ALL THE TIME. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)
If its not your cup of tea fine, but give the snobbery a rest. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

First of all, I said No Offense to LE Lovers. I was not trying to be a Snob, just voicing my opinion. I just hate the "rarer than a -6". I know people pay a premium for them, but I just don't get it.

The LE is just a Paint Job without Vinyl & a lot of options. A lot of LE's were painted to undo the LE scheme. Nobody takes a 914-6 & makes a 4.

Yes, you can make a 914-6 Conversion ( I own one & had a few others), but you can't truly duplicate one. Most importantly the VIN, but also the little details.

I had my Flame Suit on, sorry if I upset LE owners out there

Hate to take sides or "gang up" but (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with TC on this one. After going through a couple of real -6 cars and seeing how people foam out the mouth over them. Nothing against an LE because I've seen the creamies and bumblebees get their attention at shows, but the six cars will do something the LE cars won't and that is hold a value. The thing is people like that Porsche name on the engine rather than VW. To most the 914 is just a snazzy VW until they see a Porsche six hanging under it. I hope for all of stakes in this that the value of these cars get better but That guy is smoking a huge pipe to ask -6 prices for an LE.
