If this car is a bee then someone went to a hell of a lot of trouble to hide it. Getting new wheels & repainting what needs to be yellow shouldn't be a problem. Finding a front spoiler & a center console that has to be chopped, along with the right size VDO clock, fog lights & grills not so easy. Letters across the grill will have to be changed back to silver & carbs removed & replaced w/ a full D-jet. Also going to be tough finding grey headlight motor covers. Glad I was wrong about this car but I'd still really want to see a COA on this car before I committed myself to getting it back to where it belongs.

Keep in mind, not EVERYONE understands the value of an LE, or that there even IS an LE/bumblebee/creamsicle designation...or that they are anything special. To a majority of the world, it's just a 914 - a 'Porsche'd up VW'. It had black and yellow on it, maybe some owner hated yellow...maybe it got damaged/repaired....maybe...whatever... Just think of all the 914's sitting around rotting away. Nobody saw value, so why would they think this color combination was special (except maybe the first owner?) Not everyone is as educated or as passionate (crazy maybe??) as people on this forum. |
