From Porsche official website History of Porsche
1975: The Porsche 911enters the 1976 model year with only very minor modifications. Output of the "basic" version is boosted to 165 bhp/121 kW, the 911 S is dropped from the range. The Carrera 3.0 (2994 cc, 200 bhp/147 kW) is dropped after the plant shut-down in summer. In their last year of production, all models in the Porsche 914 range receive a two-liter power unit, with a reduction in compression and output to 95 bhp/70 kW. In autumn the 912 E (available only in the USA) also featuring a VW power unit (1971 cc, 90 bhp/66 kW) joins the 914 in the market.

Yes, Porsche says lots of things about the 914's. Considering they kept poor records of what they actually built the accepted logic is that there was only 2.0l 76 cars.
There was only orange/white and black/yellow LE's too unless you are one of the few that has seen the green/white ones.

Ok, I am little new to the 914 world, but I have read some of the stuff about the LE cars.

Does anyone actually have one of these grasshopper LEs, or is it just an unproven urban legend? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Still urban legend (coming from someone who has researched this for 20 years). I say still because there is room for the existance to be proven. I see two possibilities, they exist but are extremely rare, or they were not factory produced but were either dealer produced or owner produced. In this case factory produced is what is considered legit. I have heard of even more weird items, but have not see proof of anything.

just to bring a little more confusion to this topic:

QUOTE
The IAA was followed in October 1973 by the Paris Salon where the company Karmann showed two particularly striking 914s. From these emerged the custom version 914 GT which was marketed in the USA as a limited edition. The striking paintwork was black with yellow bumpers, sills, side stripes, wheels, lower rear panel closure and front spoiler. An alternative version combined light ivory with green or orange. Well, the 70s was a colourful period.

I'd want to see the COA for the 1976 1.8 before I'd believe it. They would be rarer than a Grasshopper.


I thought 76 was the scrap year, and they fitted them all with 2.0s, and fully optioned them.

Depending on the state, up until the late 70s....left over cars were titled by the year they were sold not by model year. Only the VIN would tell you what it really was.....some states don't even issue titles for cars over 30 years old.

That policy really gets the 356 weenies all bunched up when you post a pic and the legend says it's one year and the body treatments show it as a previous year.....toward the end of the 914 production run....Porsche was concentrating on the 912E and the wasserpumpers that were to repalce the 914 and the 911. Only one of those dreams came true.

I have seen one Green/white one years ago.....I have seen and had on my old computer (til it crashed) the LE poster (copied off the 'net) with all three LE's lined up. I used it for a screensaver for a while....

Is there any way to verify the two different paint codes on the cars for the LE or does it just show the main color code?
