A 914 LE owner sent me a link to their restoration documentation of a forlorn BB, found in the desert. Gaudin Porsche in Las Vegas is the force behind this one, apparently there is an internal program amongst P-car dealers to locate and restore classic Porsches such as the 914 LE. Gaudin is also a Porsche Classic Partner and can provide the inspection and Porsche Classic Technical Certificate.

Cool to see this car come together.

Another indication of the high level of interest in our cars.

Fantastic to see it in progress! Thanks for finding this and posting the link.

Mine will be at the Porsche Monterey Classic and the Werks Reunion (Corral Prkg) Still things to do to it to make it judge-able.

pretty cool to see, my tub had about the same level of floor pan long and jack point rust and repairs. I didnt see hell hole close up, mine didnt have rust there, either way its quite extensive repair work and is going to be quite a valuable car completed.. No doubt it will command quite a price tag!!!.

Man, thats a lot of work, and these boys are flying though it. Must be great to have access to such excellent restoration manpower and resources.

To borrow from one of my favorite civil war dramas from the General Stonewall Jackson character: "Suh, Ah have no hell hole..."

I agree, the 914 was in tough shape. All of us teeners and a bunch of other Porsches in Las Vegas were invited to the Kick off of this restoration. They were also show casing their brand new expanded area of the shop that housed a bunch of early air cooled Porsches (all beautifully restored). It was quite an event and a lot of eye candy to see.

Im wondering where they are going to get an original spoiler? Spoiler in the teardown pictures looks like a replica. Correct me if i am wrong Jeff.

Two LE’s showed up at the last G&R Swapmeet, a BB and a Creamsicle. As i recall one had an original and the other was a replica.

Originals are unobtanium.

Update:

"We are currently in final assembly. I will try to get on to post more about the car in the coming weeks. Here is an invite to the unveiling, the car will also be on display at Werks Reunion in Monterey."

The unveiling is July 30 and Werks Reunion is August 19. Hoping someone here will attend and post photos/details.

Unbeleiveable how fast this team is building this car. No doubt the results will be stunning.

Anyone with a lead on an original front LE spoiler, please contact Steve Thiel at Gaudin directly.

You can count on Elvira and I being there.

If there is anything specific you want pictures of, please let me know.
I know how much you all enjoy, (and how good you are at) picking cars apart in minute detail. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Hey Beach914,

How can you tell you've got an original LE spoiler? Is there a serial number? And, if so, where is it? I'm in the process of verifying that my recently purchased '74 is, in fact, an LE.

Thanks for sharing.

I have a Bumblebee that could use that spoiler (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)!
