Just wanted to let anyone who may be bidding on this auction and happens to visit the World... this is not a true LE car since the VIN is nearly 8000 units before the first recognized Can Am 914.
This same car - VIN 4742906558 - is listed on Jeff Bowlsby's site as a "Creamsicle Tribute" car. Not a real Creamsicle <-- click for auction page (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) So if being labeled a "Can Am eddition" car when it isnt is not enough to get it removed, maybe the fact that he is missrepresenting the engine type would be
"Engine: 2.0" Sure dont look like 2.0 heads to me! I was thinking that maybe the current 1500 bid would not have been bad for a 2.0 creamsicle clone, but for a single carbed 1.7 that they didnt even bother to brush the leaves off... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) I think we should have some fun with this and turn it into a game of "What else is wrong with this picture?" No vacum hose on the PCV Looks like no cooling flaps on the engine Trashed engine tin Chrome badges on a 74 2.0 badge on a 1.7 What else do people see? Given what i see in the pictures and the fact that the rust areas are a complete unknown, I would say this guy is lucky to be even getting $1500 for it at this point |

He is totally clueless about 914s... I have been back and forth with him via ebay messaging. He seems to at least be listening. Let's see if he does the right thing and pulls the auction or at the very least corrects all the mistakes.
I told him about the engine being a 1.7 and how to distinguish from a 2.0. He says "NO rust" but how often have we heard that before. If it is relatively rust free, then $1500 is not too bad for what is there. The body itself looks to be decent enough. Everything else can be replaced/repaired with time/money. For an east coast car, looks good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) My only complaint is the misrepresentation as an LE. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
