Maybe I'm jumpin the gun here but seller states black was the original color and I maybe see the grey headlight pivot covers?
from the picture of the threshold sticker: 4742915952
strangely, the VIN listed in the ad text is 47429159572
this 4742915952 falls in the correct range, right @JeffBowlsby ?

I'm not Jeff, but yes, that car is in the range ...
What I see is
No Console (think all the LEs had them)
Sail panel vinyl ( LEs didn't have it)

Add to that... no fog light switch, engine is not a 2.0

I’ve seen that a small number of LEs came with sail vinyl but this has chrome trim on the sails where an LE would have painted trim. I agree that it’s not likely an LE.
yep - good points, all.....disregard, I guess as far as it being an LE...
This cars VIN is within the LE VIN range, but its not likely a 914LE.
There are many black and white cars on the LE Registry clearly indicating that they are not LE cars, even though within the LE VIN range, I suspect this is one more to add to the list.
Not because it does not have the center console or has Targa vinyl or bright Targa trim - those are easy personalization mods. The grey headlight relay covers only tell us that the car was built in the short period of time where all 914s had grey headlight covers.
No USA LE left the factory with Targa vinyl and bright Targa trim, those were standard 1974 914 elements on all 1974 914s. The center console and other things were options in 1974 and its possible this car never had it.
The advertisement says this is a 2.0L. Obviously not originally, but the engine could have been modified to a 2.0L spec.
This car should be verified with a COA before it is purchased thinking it is an LE, but it looks like a decent standard 914 as it is. I think it is a standard, 1974 non-LE 914, with what was originally a 1.8L engine (assuming that the engine shown is original to the car).

The seller stated he rebuilt the engine with big bore cylinders, That would make it a 1911 Right ??
Maybe he figured that was close enough to call it a 2.0
