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.

I was a member of NNJR (northern new jersey region) PCA back in 1973 thru 1983 and I remember seeing plenty black/yellow and white/red LE's but I never saw a white/green LE. NNJR was a fairly large region back then (over a 1,000 members and very active) but no grasshoppers. We would hold multi region events with Metro NY and Conn. Valley Region and Jersey Shore and various Regions from Pennsylvania and still never saw a grasshopper. I understand most 914's were sold in California but quite a few were sold in the North East but I never saw a grasshoppers. Now that I live in Florida I'm always looking cuz you never know when one might show up.
