Nice car.

I would bet that it doesn't meet the reserve price.

I bet the reserve is more like $10-12,000. Didn't that last clean Bumblebee sell for 13 or 14,000? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/crest.gif)

The recent Bumblebee went for $12,000 which was the reserve minimum. The next bid in line for that car was $9,000. It was a fine restoration but had minor flaws.

This will be an interesting auction to watch because it appears to be a pristine original paint Creamsicle. I have yet to see any LE that is in original paint much less, one in the condition this car appears to be in.

The Creamsicles are more rare than the Bumblebees but for some reason are not as high in demand. The recent bids/sales for exceptional Creamsicles show a high value of under $8K, but this car would seem to surpass that previous car in quality, so the successful bid should go higher than $8K. I have heard of a mint Creamsicle going for $13,500 a few years ago but it is only rumor.

I would say that any original paint 914 in as exceptional condition as this one appears to be in is going high...its likely the only Creamiscle anywhere in this condition...maybe even higher than the 12K Bumblebee...but only if the right buyer is in the hunt.

Oh no...I am trying to think of a reason not to bid....please talk me out of it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

That is a sweet car. I would like to see a pic of the underside of the engine, the longs and the engine compartment.

About 1 1/2 years ago, an Ivory and Red LE was up for sale in Deep in the Harta Texas. It was a Parade class winner. Maybe 3-4 years prior in NY state. Car was fully restored, had 140K on chasis, engine rebuild w/stock p&c. I send picutures to Bows. I think he had about 9k into the body and paint work.
Wanted 9K for the car. Beautiful car. Some 1 out there got a real good deal on that 1.

For some reason? I think it's pretty obvious why, Jeff.... Most people think the Creamsicles are more ugly than the Bumblebees! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif)

It's too bad, in some ways, but I also wish that the LEs had be done in somewhat more tasteful color schemes... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Yellow and black is OK, but I'm not sure about the others.

It would be kinda amusing to make a black 74 into a green-on-black pseudo-LE. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hey Hey there...

last I checked 'beauty' was a subjective decision....but I tend the agree FWIW.

I have thought about a black/green LE too...but what would it be called....mint chocolate chip? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (snort)

I like the creamsicles alot. The bumble bees I have a hard time with. But, I really appreciate both for what they are! Would of liked to check that 1 out and post a report on it, too far though.

I can't stand the bumble bee's. I think they are horrificly ugly.But I think black with yellow trim and wheels looks heavy and hot.
The creamsicle, on the other hand, isn't that bad.

heavy and hot are not good things....I moved a sentence before I posted and it doesn't make as much sense as before.

Basically, I said the damn things are ugly and look heavy and hot - not good things....the creamsicle on the other hand isn't too bad...much more pleasing to the eye.
