After nearly abandoning all hope, we finally found our creamsicle! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
It is a 1 family owned 914. Needs restoration, but we are going to sell our 78 911SC to pay for the restoration. This 914 is a keeper, HONEST!

I will be on the lookout for parts for our creamsicle.

Thanks! We will get more pics tomorrow. We had a great find in the front trunk. Not only does it have the 5th Mahle, but we also found maintenance records back to 1978. Needless to say, Rob is a very happy boy!

I didn't know you got a creamsicle! We are going to start our restoration pretty much right away. We plan on having it as a second driver. The vin is 4742915189. Rob will have to post the history on the car. It is pretty interesting.

Post some pics of yours. I would love to see it.

Here's the link to my website....

You have to definately post the restoration process.... Good luck and look forward to seeing another LE back on the road...

BTW, I don't see your car listed on Jeff Bowlsby LE website. You should check it out and send him the information, he would be very excited....

Again, congratulations....

Congrats on the score. I sure miss my creamsicle, guess the Bee will have to do until I can get another cream.

A female in a Camaro running late for a house closing. Less than 72 hours after I bought the car. By the way, she swore to the cops she was only doing 35mph.

I think the motor from the SC would be nice in the creamsicle. Nice score. Reckon you will have it ready to drive to Huntsville next weekend? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) It would be a miracle if I was able to drive it to Huntsville. Nel would never let me put the SC motor in the creamsicle. She wants this all stock.
