PCNA has the info...they have the power...they won't release a list of exact VINs or an exact quantity made. A kind soul there did however confirm for me the first and last LE VIN in their records...which I have indicated on the LE Registry. That person has moved on. Two other semi-official documents are known to indicate 914 LE quantities...the initial marketing release which indicates 1000 would be built, and a later letter that suggests approximately 800 LEs were actually built. Its plausible that fewer than 1000 were built because the car was not a big seller, in spite of its value pricing and limited production. At this point its really a guess until PCNA releases a complete VIN list. interesting that this is the first evidence that I've ever seen that there may actually have been less than the presumed 1000 (500x500) Limited Edition US Can Am cars produced. |

Man that's sketchy. I think if the car had been taken during daylight hours, the keys would've been noticed lying on the ground. Not seeing black keys lying on black pavement...I'm guessing this car was taken late at night.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) It's gone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) I went by the boarded up shop today and the 914-LE's keys were on the ground where it was parked:WTF: and the 914-LE is gone. I picked up the key and now have the 914-LE car keys in my position (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I'll check the local police dept. tomorrow & see if they have a record of anyone towing it away. Could it be stolen or in a chop shop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Mystery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) Tom |
