Something is amiss. Most of the LE's on Ebay have been from Tenn. and Brad knows something about some shop there to make me suspect foul play

The LEs are nice cars and the concept is cool, but those color combinations make me wonder how much lead is in the paint! or what they were smoking!

Looks like he has the original bill of sale that states side stripes and two tone paint. The car might not be verifiable but I wonder if the document could be authenticated.

Not that it matters to me one bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

There is a guy in Texas with a print shop that can dupe your window sticker EXACTLY on the same type/style of paper used in 197X. He does the seat belt stickers...you name it. He had them at the MUSR.. and guess who he is freinds with... guess ..guess... yep. TN LE builder.

Unless Bowlsby is standing next to me looking at the same car... I dont beleive any LE that is within a 3 state radius of TN.

I don't think anyone wants a creamsicle, so I doubt this is a counterfeit. The LE everybody wants is the bumblebee. I've had a couple of creamsicles pass through my hands and I let them go cheap. Previous owners had repainted them to make them less unsightly...

Brad, I know the TX guy, he made my window sticker and it says 2 liter twin turbo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It has black headlight motors covers and the LE spoiler looks aftermarket to me.

This car is listed on Jeff Bowlsby's site. It is listed as being owned by a Don Ramsay of Knoxville, TN. He is also listed as owning 5 other LEs.

Im with you Chis. I own one and while I didnt care for the color combo originally (it was my 1st teener and I didnt know anything about them I just caught a deal) it kinda grows on ya.
This one also dosnt have the flip up arm-rest? From the picture its got the cheesy plastic tray.

Scott, I hooked up with the guy through Ebay while searching for 914 parts. I'll dig up the contact info but you might want to try there also.

Haha! I fell into that one.

Actually, for the record, I don't dislike the creamsicle cars. I think the orange trim works well with the bumpers and the wheels. I think i'd just use the orange with another base color, though, like gulf blue. I just don't see these cars as being more valuable than a regular '74. I'm just saying that people tend to go into a frenzy with the bumblebees.

It should have the flip-up compartment. Doesn't mean it's not authentic, though. They might have replaced a torn-up front spoiler with an aftermarket unit too. Proves nothing.

Dude, you're like the ultimate straight man. We could form a (bad) comedy team and go on the road.

Also, it does not appear to have the correct guages. They are the same as my 75' 2.0 without a silver ball on the needles
