[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)

Not looking good for borrowing a trailer unfortunately, considering the drive. Have to wait & see what the weather will be like.
Meantime I keep seeing all these LEs' with exact birthdates listed here, so I went to check out my paperwork. Nothing on the window sticker, original write up, final write up/BOS & then I look @ my COA & suddenly remember why I hate the damned worthless COAs- dated 03/01/74. Too bad the still there, original door sticker says 02/74.

Decode the Karmann tag. It will give you the XX week and day of that week.

EDIT: I just checked the VIN database and your CS has a VIN 15 less than my CS. So, that means yours was possibly the 51st 914 built on Thursday, Feb. 21, 1974. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
Decode the Karmann badge just to be sure.
