Newbie here, looking to purchase a 914.
I have found a 1974 that I may go look at this weekend. The VIN # that is listed on the sale ad has a 6th digit that is the letter "T", with a total of 10 characters. When I run a Carfax (is this the best source?), it tells me that I don't have enough characters, should be 17, though looking at VIN/model year history on the PelicanParts website, it appears that no VINs had more than 10 characters, and none appear to have a letter anywhere in the number. Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks, Steve |

QUOTE(sphillips @ Aug 11 2013, 05:05 PM)  QUOTE(Jonathan Livesay @ Aug 11 2013, 03:58 PM) I have a 74 L80E car with those exact wheels.

Trunk looks pretty good, but that is not where you want to have a real good close look (if not poke with something sharp) for rust. |

Rats...so sorry. Proves that even some of the L80E cars within the VIN range are not LE cars. Still a nice 914 that someone will enjoy owning/driving.
