Good look with the sale. IMO a CoA from Porsche might be a good selling point.

thanks for your opinion and suggestion Mike- 100% Cremecicle per VIN and 914 LE Registry

Get the COA if you want to sell it (more) easily - just my little old opinion.

[gcrotvik]

Just curious. Is this claim correct? "there are only 236 surviving examples in the world- less than 100 are Cremesicles remaining"

Just curious. Is this claim correct? "there are only 236 known surviving examples in the world- less than 100 are Creamsicles remaining"

Yup.

Hello all-

real Cremesicles are rarer than hen's teeth-less than 100 examples left in the world

[Cairo94507]

I agree real LE's are rare. If you had the COA to prove your car is a true LE I think it would likely sell and sell for more. Just saying.....again.

Quite possibly, though if the biggest differentiator between regular 914s and these LEs is the factory cosmetics, what discount do you apply for lack thereof?

cosmetics and the correct serial number

Of course you cant drive a serial number but it's important to some people.

[pnewman]

So how much would it take to get this back to showing it's true colors?
Is a rotisserie in its' future?
Missing specific LE items too?

Subtract that from a turn key creamcicle price.
...unless of coursce you want a very nice example of a green 914 for $15K.

I am interested in your 914. Can you send me a picture of the paint code plaque located on the forward section of the driver's side door jam. Can you also send me a picture of the engine compartment so that I can see the condition of the hell hole / battery tray and the extent of the repaint.

Thank you,

Brian

Has any one looked at this car yet?

At this point, the only differentiator between the regular 914s and the LEs is the COA. Almost none of the real LEs have original paint, so without that piece of paper from Porsche, even the authentic LEs are no different than a fully optioned '74 2.0 with an "L80E" or "L041" paint code on the chassis plate.
This car has no original paint and no COA, so...

Of course, you can't drive a COA, either.

This car has no original paint, no optional front valance, and no COA, so...

Which begs the question then: why bother marketing it as a LE?
You might help your cause to provide a Pic of the chassis plate.

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.
