VIN # appears to be correct. Which means this should be genuine. Does anyone disagree with this. Could a non LE car be registered with the 914 CAN-AM registry www.bowlsby.net as being genuine? Jeff runs an informational Website; it is not directly affiliated with Porsche. So yes, this could be a non-LE car registered with Jeff's site. In fact, although this car is listed on the Jeff's site, it is clearly stated that this car is currently "Not Certified" as an LE. It also shows no information whatsoever that would identify it as an LE other than falling within the PCNA-stated VIN range (VIN 4742914914). I'm guessing the owner submitted his car to bowlsby.net as an "LE" with no supporting documentation, so Jeff listed it as "Not Certified" until he received additional evidence (hoping Jeff will weigh in with some clarification here). Jeff does not list the car as "Certified" unless he is sent a copy of the the official Porsche COA, which, as noted above, is really the only valid means of identifying authentic LE paint code cars. Perhaps Jeff will weigh in with some clarification here... It would be awesome if this car is a true LE, because the VIN is so cool... but the seller's inability to provide a COA and unwillingness to even picture the chassis plate (with the paint code) casts serious doubt on its authenticity. |

It was a black and yellow LE sold to me by Claire Porsche Audi just outside Boston in mid summer of 1974. As matter of interest the price was almost exactly $7040.00. The car was my daily driver until it was stolen from my apartment in Sherman Oaks, California (L.A.) sometime in the late '70s. I have no idea where the car ended up and haven't seen the serial number mentioned until this thread. It was an excellent car in every way, and was super in the PCA and POC events at Riverside, Ontario and Willow Springs. |

3 years late or forty, there are a number of stories the past few years of stolen cars being returned to their previous owners after being rediscovered decades later. The plate in those pics say, at least then, it was still in California. Should be pretty easy to track it's movements since.
