[poorsche914]

Ok, all you Can Am/Limited Edition 914 enthusiasts.... this is the gathering you have been waiting for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of these special cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Okteenerfest will double as a reunion for all Limited Edition 914s. I know there are a LOT of these 914s in the Southeast (and beyond) so dust 'em off and tune 'em up to make the journey to Townsend, TN this September 25-27. Let's make this the largest gathering of Limited Edition 914s in the world (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Don't have a 914 LE? No worries. ALL 914s are welcome to join in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) the awesome mountain roads of east Tennessee and western North Carolina. Since the government shutdown affected nearly 3/4s of our original route in 2013, we will be using that same route for this year. Dubbed "der Nebelbergring", the route circles the Smokies and includes not only the world-famous 318 curves of the Dragon, but also Foothills Parkway, a portion of Moonshiner 28, Little River Road, and a run through Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

In addition to the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif), Okteenerfest will feature plenty of good eating, an awards ceremony, tons of give-aways from the most awesome vendors, a Peoples Choice Car Show, and some of the nicest people you will ever meet gathered in a single place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Well, your COA says it is but I'm sure you know how I feel about that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Color code is right, most were made w/ black interiors, engine # was recorded but the tranny was not (common), should have a center console w/ 3 gauges, all gauges should be black centers (not shiny ones), front & rear factory sway bars, 2 horns, black surrounds on headlights, grey surrounds on headlight motors (inside front trunk), need to check the VIN to see if it falls w/in Bowlsbys' LE VIN range, tits (bumperettes) on front & back bumpers. Hope that helps.

so the vin is probably the best predictor of authenticity?
