I like the Creamsicle the best also. I saw a Honda or Toyota painted like a Creamsicle yesterday! Way cool and retro looking. It was all riced out with the same LE type paint job.
If I had a white car like Mike Muellers, I would paint it to be a Grasshopper just to be different. Geoff |

QUOTE how many LE's were there in each color? That is one of the key mysteries...There is only speculation that there were 600 Bumblebees, 300 Creamsicles and 100 Grasshoppers. I have not seen proof of these numbers though the basis for these numbers is on my website. My numbers have changed because of a letter I received just yesterday...see below. The most believable info I have is that there were 1000 total 914 Limited Edition cars made, and they all came to the USA. I have just received a letter from the Porsche factory that there were no 914 Can Am cars delivered to Europe (those were to have been called the 914 GT). That mystery is solved. The photos of the two Euro 914 GT cars on my website must have been the final prototypes as they were in european trim. I have to agree with you guys about the LE cars. For a long time I did not like the loud colors...but they have grown on me. I like them because they are different, and frankly I like them all now, but it is an acquired taste and most people dont like them. My better half does not like them...Oh well...the narrow road... |

can you check DMV records to see how many are still "Surviving"? if one could use a DMV database, you could see how many total 914 are registered/salvage titled/ scrapped. could be a good research project. -_-

A DMV search would be cool, but I don't think that info is available to the public. Do you know how to do it?
I did find one California LE car by a photo with a license plate, and ran it through the smog check site, but it only tells the city of the last sm og check, not owner info. Can anyone do a search like this in CA or any other state? Becasue the 914 LE cars were only made in a narrow VIN range and only in 74, it should be a simple search. |

MikeZ has that Private Eye license and all. Supposedly he can check "semi-public" records for you...
I'm not real wild about the LE paint schemes. The Bumblebees are awwright, I suppose, but I'm not that fond of black cars anyway. But I'd own a Grasshopper, just because of the rarity! --DD |
