A 914 friend and I came across vin 4742915414. While I don't have a COA I am 99% sure this is a real deal Bumble Bee LE. It has the correct vin in the LE range of vins. It has the correct paint code L04I, correct grey headlight motor arm covers (yes some non LE in 74 had these also), correct REAL LE front spoiler with the correct mounting arms.

It is missing the leather wrapped steering wheel and sadly a past owner blew up the original 2.0L and replaced it with a 1.7 with dual weber carbs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I can get it to turn over, but it won't start. I haven't messed with it yet. Plan is to clean it up and then sell it.

Here are some pictures.
