Hell yeah! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I'm really looking forward to meeting other 914 World members! A caravan would be cool! I booked my room for all three days, so will probably leave Jacksonville in the early morning since it's a 9 hour drive with no stopping (will add time for lunch, meeting up with people on the way) and I'd like to get there early Thursday evening. If we all meet up we can coordinate times between cities and I can leave accordingly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

That sounds like a plan. As the time gets closer we'll see if anyone else wants to join our convoy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

I've had 3 914s and never once driven one out of town (not counting St. Augustine which is just 26 minutes away) for fear of anything going wrong at any minute and getting stranded

As Bill noted, these cars want to be driven...the more, the better. Seriously. We drive ours everywhere and never even think of having problems. Only time it gets trailered is if we have an autocross to go to so we can bring the sticky tires.

Really looking forward to seeing all these LE cars!!

Not looking good for borrowing a trailer unfortunately, considering the drive. Have to wait & see what the weather will be like.
Meantime I keep seeing all these LEs' with exact birthdates listed here, so I went to check out my paperwork. Nothing on the window sticker, original write up, final write up/BOS & then I look @ my COA & suddenly remember why I hate the damned worthless COAs- dated 03/01/74. Too bad the still there, original door sticker says 02/74.

Hey gang, I am trying to validate the authenticy of a 74 914LE white and orange. any pointers on what to look for? is a Porsche cert of authenticity with CanAm LE listed as an option enough in your mind? Thx, RhodyRanger, Cumberland, RI

Well, your COA says it is but I'm sure you know how I feel about that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Color code is right, most were made w/ black interiors, engine # was recorded but the tranny was not (common), should have a center console w/ 3 gauges, all gauges should be black centers (not shiny ones), front & rear factory sway bars, 2 horns, black surrounds on headlights, grey surrounds on headlight motors (inside front trunk), need to check the VIN to see if it falls w/in Bowlsbys' LE VIN range, tits (bumperettes) on front & back bumpers. Hope that helps.

so the vin is probably the best predictor of authenticity?

According to the Can Am register... VIN 16764 is the last 914 Porsche Can Am Limited Edition VIN authenticated in PCNA records.

So, that being said, looks like the one you refer to is one of the last few LE cars produced.

Decode the Karmann tag. It will give you the XX week and day of that week.

EDIT: I just checked the VIN database and your CS has a VIN 15 less than my CS. So, that means yours was possibly the 51st 914 built on Thursday, Feb. 21, 1974. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
Decode the Karmann badge just to be sure.

Nice! Welcome to "Le Club"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
When I first decoded my chassis number I thought my car was made on the exact day I was born on 17 February. But once I realized the days of the week in the decoding began on a different day, it came out to 14 February. So I named it "Valentine". It also helps that the colors are red and white.
