Thanks for all the comments. I got it back to the shop yesterday and took a couple more pics. The previous owner of the car has had it since 1976. I don't think I have ever had a title that was printed on with a typewriter. Lol

Snuck out to the shop for a bit this morning. Looks like it will clean up nicely.

Nice find! Wish you luck on a speedy restoration.

What's going on with the rear suspension? Passenger side and driver aren't even.

I will answer that question thisway. I see too often dealers/flippers taking advantage of someone because they don't know what they have or what it's worth and that drives me nuts. I did the research and told the previous owner what they are trading for and offfered a fair price based on the work involved in getting it roadworthy. I bought it at a good value but a value that lets me sleep at night knowing that I didn't steal it.

The spoiler that is on it is a stock 914 spoiler.


Looks like a front LE spoiler in pictures, maybe a repro but definitely not a stock one.

Can you post pictures of the sail panel trim , verify if it is anodized black, and is the voltage regulator cover black? It is on our Bumblebee.
Thanks.

Mike,
Think you are right. It does appear to be a LE replacement spoiler. That does help. I can just paint this one to match for now.

Bdstone914,
The sail trim is indeed black. I can check the regulator cover when I get a chance.

If you will email me or post photos of the following, I would be glad to put this car on the 914 LE Registry:

VIN
Both labels from the driver door jamb
Engine SN
COA when you get it.

I have a receipt for those tires. They were installed in 1986. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That is the best answer you could possibly give. Well done!

There's a post on a facebook group page of a possible 914/6 that "an old man want's to get out of his yard" for $2500. It would be a shame if it is a legit six and the "old man" only gets $2500 for it only to see someone flip it for 15 times that.
