Late last year I submitted a request for information to Porsche Classics Archive Research regarding their published website statement concerning the existence and rarity of the white/green trim LE 914 cars. I simply asked them to confirm or deny the accuracy of their website statement. This process is a little known and great resource for certain kinds of information about your 914. It seems that other authors merely quoted this flawed source or similar sources about the grasshopper cars, which are now admittedly in error. Their statements were the most beliveable evidence available about the 'grasshopper' LEs, considering the source.
I received their response letter today. The Grasshopper never existed. Lies...it was all lies...we have all been deceived.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I will be revising my 914 LE website to reflect this recent information and will include their letter: Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Jeff,
I have owned my 1970 since 1973. In the mid 70's the local porsche dealer had a white and green LE in its show room. I considered buying it but never did. Someone in my area eventually bought the car and I would see it on the streets of my town on occasion. I live in upstate NY so there was at least one purchased in the northeast back in the mid 70's.
