supposedly it has front and rear sway bars..,
Seller states "yellow paint discovered in the door sills " so not the door jamb as posted on here. However, they can't confirm whether or not it has the correct engine. If the seller were smart he would pull the ad until he gets a COA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

QUOTE(Vacca Rabite @ Mar 17 2015, 08:45 AM)  The seller is now referring to it as an LE in his ad. Says yellow paint was found in the door jams. Zach (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Who told?!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Darling! |

I believe the seller is reading this thread & I still doubt it's a bee, however I'd love to be proven wrong. Door jamb sticker has traces of black paint so it's been repainted. Color code says it's black but it's not original black outside.

Well, I was thinking about starting a thread and posting a couple hundred pictures of my 914 here in the garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Unfortunately my lawn is not green, it's still covered in snow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) In the mean time I was accusing you of spilling beans all over the place. What say you, Darling?!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Jeff was thinkin' right
Just got a call from PCNA Black car with yellow trim, OPTION code 778 ! Can Am Limited Edition. When I talked to the person at the car I should have been more forceful about the feel and appearance of the top of the inner rear fenders. He didn't see any evidence of filled trim holes. No trim holes = LE ? Someone got smart or lucky! |

If this car is a bee then someone went to a hell of a lot of trouble to hide it. Getting new wheels & repainting what needs to be yellow shouldn't be a problem. Finding a front spoiler & a center console that has to be chopped, along with the right size VDO clock, fog lights & grills not so easy. Letters across the grill will have to be changed back to silver & carbs removed & replaced w/ a full D-jet. Also going to be tough finding grey headlight motor covers. Glad I was wrong about this car but I'd still really want to see a COA on this car before I committed myself to getting it back to where it belongs.

I'm glad I didn't know before the auction ended.
I might have tortured myself into another project on top of three or four other projects. |

Notice the German plate? The car was apparently registered in Dortmund. That's the largest city over here that begins with D...hence the one letter...D at the beginning of the plate number. Munich cars get an M... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Keep in mind, not EVERYONE understands the value of an LE, or that there even IS an LE/bumblebee/creamsicle designation...or that they are anything special. To a majority of the world, it's just a 914 - a 'Porsche'd up VW'. It had black and yellow on it, maybe some owner hated yellow...maybe it got damaged/repaired....maybe...whatever... Just think of all the 914's sitting around rotting away. Nobody saw value, so why would they think this color combination was special (except maybe the first owner?) Not everyone is as educated or as passionate (crazy maybe??) as people on this forum. |
