I am sure this has been posted before, but I cannot find it, Would my VIN be able to tell me if my car is an LE? it has been repainted badly in original white, has black sail panel trim strips, and what seems to be original black door handles along with an LE spoiler on it. Does any of this mean anything or is there just no way to tell this stuff!!

Well actaully the way I understand it, is that all LEs of course came with the LE spoiler that was designed specifically for that car. Careful study of the photos on the Registry indicate that few LEs actually have their original spoiler, repros have been installed. But the spoiler and its brackets were also installed as an optional accessory on late 74-76 914s and were available for separate purchase from the dealers. So any 914 could have an OEM LE spoiler buy this time. You are both right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
