Grasshopper LE proof there are none? Options

[GaroldShaffer]

I got this book called Porsche Sport 76 / 77 by Joe Rusz. It's copy right is 1977, and trust me the book has that old book smell to it. Anyway, it goes over most of the Porsche models to that date including the Porsche 914/6 Pickup with pictures of it being built but also in the 914 section of the book is a photo of 74 LE black & yellow with the following caption below it, and I quote

"Introduced in mid - 1974, this limited edition 914/4 was available in eitherblack with yellow trim or white red trim Standard equipment included stabilizer bars, alloy wheels, front spoiler, and custom interior. Engine was the usual 4-cyl, but in 2-liter (1971cc) form"

I would think that IF the white & green LE was a factory option that would have also been listed since this book is from that era. It is noted in the forward of this book that "Joe Rusz" has written this book for the past six years (back in 1977) so this would leave me to believe that there should be a Porsche Sport 74/75 out there somewhere that might give more details on the LE cars??

So there you have it, yet another discussion started on the grasshopper LE that gives possible proof that there were no such "Factory" White & Green LE cars.

Mike Mueller gave me those NOS green stripes he found at a local swapmeet. They are VOA stripes like the NOS yellow stripes George gave me. The color should be close but probably not exact. The 914 LE side stripes were installed at the factory and were not the VOA stripes. There are more details on my 914 LE website.

The VOA stripes were available as accessories through P-car dealers, only in (Saturn) yellow, orange, green, black and gold...and not white. The yellow and orange VOA stripes are a shade off of the factory applied 914 LE color stripes, which is why I have the stripes in the correct colors (Sunflower Yellow and Phoenix Red) manufactured locally for anyone who wants the correct colors for their 914 LE car.
