There were supposedly 100 made. I guess there's no way to track one from a dealership. Would the paint code be L80? Same as the creamsicle? Does one exist, or is it now only a legend? How would you verify it? Scrape paint on rockers or bumpers? If it was repainted, what's the most likely place you'd find evidence?

Hi Tom, In 1974, Targa bar vinyl was stock on all USA cars, and optional on the Euro cars. For the 914LE cars (and apparently the 914GT), the factory swapped that to make them unique from the other cars on the lot. So in the USA the 914 LE cars have no vinyl, and the 914 GT cars do...go figure.

Check out the Bumblebee 914GT on teh 914LE Registry (VIN 16276)...it has vinyl. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
