I just bought my first 914 today. It is a 74 2.0. It is white with green trim. Could it be a grasshopper? Does anyone know if you can tell the original options and color by the vin? It is 4742907753.

No 'grasshopper' 914 came from the factory. End of Myth, as certified by PCNA. Any white/green 914 (or any other color/negative stripe combination) anyone has seen or remembers was fabricated either by the dealership or by the purchaser/owner. Porsche even had a marketing campaign promoting the personalizing idea during the same time period the 914 LE cars were available, and the parts were available in the parts department.
