1st Creamsicle built, and lowest VIN 914LE as confirmed by PCNA. This CS needs a total restoration but...This is a significant 914 being both the 1st 914LE and 1st Creamsicle. I saw this car in 2005 in SoCal, it was not running then, was mildly rusty and looks about the same today, but it had already been sold to the owner in VT who is apprently now deceased. Its now resurfaced, available and apparently in driveable condition. A great opportunity for someone to rescue and revive. It had an original LE spoiler on it then and by the damage marks I see on it now compared to then, its the same one.

Being the first LE is there any documentation of differences between this car and the other LE cars? |

we could tell if there were a bunch of pictures, but nothing in these pictures tells anything except that:
The first one had dual carbs installed! (LOL) 1st Creamsicle built, and lowest VIN 914LE as confirmed by PCNA.

Being the first LE is there any documentation of differences between this car and the other LE cars? older aftermarket fuel injection with throttle bodies actually. not an uninteresting mod. i'd say it got up and went ----- a bit better than carbs or original EFI? sometimes there is a case for preserving a car and mods through time. i'd be trying to find out who past owners were. anyone significant. or interesting? there might be something in it. aside from the standard idea of restoring back to factory. |
