Might be a Bumblebee, Waiting on COA to see Options

[billh1963]

Waiting for COA to verify One way or another. Things are promising....1974 2.0 that falls in all the right number ranges for a "Bumblebee" (VIN, Body number, Mfg date). Originally a black car and most paint is original. Has the right options (front and rear sway bar, fog lights, never had sail panel trim strip, etc.). Parents of the previous lady owner purchased the car in 1986 for her to drive in college. All records since their purchase.

Seller said car originally had yellow wheels and bumpers but her parents didn't like the wheel color and made the dealer change them out when they bought the car. Also had a minor front end collision in the late 1980's that damaged the spoiler and front bumper (I have the receipt for the repair).

Can't absolutely verify mileage since history from 1974 to 1986 is not known, However car was purchased with around 44k miles showing and now shows 57k.

Even if it's not a LE the car is still very tight and runs good. We'll see in a few weeks when COA comes back.

The COA has gotten a lot trickier. Porsche will no longer give you the original engine or gearbox number, you supply what you have, and they confirm if it is original or not and put Matching Numbers on the COA if it is.
The problem is unless you have Factory backdoor access, you can't know your original engine number, meaning you can never find it. Porsche says this is to cut down on fraud, and I can see that, but it's a shame because it does happen, finding your original motor.
