No relation, etc.....

he needs to paint teh wheels the right color....

interesting. Only 8 hours away...lol. Ive always wanted an LE. Seriously. This one looks to have potential too.

Someone save this one!

Looks like original stickers down the sides... I don't think she's been repainted. I mapquested Camden TN & found it 1/2 way between Nashville & Memphis. 10+ hrs away & I still have no garage .

why would you need a hitch on a 914?


steve

To pull your little trailer with your 4 wheels with race rubber on them to run on the track. Wonder how rusty it really is. If it has a hole, that may be the tip of the iceberg

I would love to have a Creamsicle, but that one scares me.

other thing I've notice, the rear (pass) wheel is at the horrible angle, meaning only one thing!

Rusted trailing arm console!
Have already one of thoses!

nice job to store a car for 6 years under a leaking tarp.

The result is one rusty mofo.

Still for $600 I would buy it.

About 45 minutes from me. If I can get the time I might go check it out.

Pretty scary looking, but it is an LE. I am afraid there is an awful lot of rust lurking around those rockers and door jambs.

actually to haul your parts car with you, just in case

Go for it Perry!!!

LE's are over rated. They're just funny painted 914's...............

OK, you asked for it... , , , , , , , , , , , , , .

I sent him a question to see if I could come and check it out. He said OK, so if I can break away, I'll give the details.

OK lets play . Fully loaded, w/ every option, for $2K less, back in 74 mind you (BIG BUCKS), how is that overrated?

Secondly, the Grasshopper... mythical psuedo beast, perpetuated in story, upon tale, to legendary proportions... I have never seen one & I was on the lot w/ Pop back in 74. I remember the viper green Carrera w/ black accents, the yellow/black Carrera, the stunning white/blue Carrera, red/black Carrera, the Bumblebee because that's what I wanted, the Creamsicle & a light blue/black 914. I mentioned these cars because they all had accent colored stripes. Check the LE registry & you'll see all the evidence Jeff has compiled against it's existence. Honestly I have never seen a genuine Grasshopper & believe I heard someone here on the World built himself one. I may be a newbie here but I've been around my LE for 33 years now.

It's just a paint job.
I remember in high school , my buddy's mom had an '87 FILA Tbird. OOooooh.........Think that thing is worth anything today. It had some pinstriping on the outsise and a FILA logo on the seats. Big Woop.

If the LE's had been outfitted with a bigger displacement motor, or better suspension, then we would have something to talk about......

:nomex:

Front & rear sway bars- stock. Bilsteins- stock. Mahles'- stock. That covers a suspension upgrade right there. Center console w/ 3 very functional gauges- stock. Intermittent wiper- stock. Tinted windows- stock. The biggest displacement engine offered at the time- stock. I think offering all of this because of a radical paint job, & at a $2k discount no less, is something not to be ignored. Then there's the actual history behind the entire idea of the LE & why they did it & why they wound up screwing themselves. Besides, try driving one & not being noticed... it's impossible & gets quite annoying after a while.

i also know people who get noticed in their two tone primer grey and red 914's too

everybody stares at my Nepal Orange car, heck you just got a little bit of orange on that LE.

I did have a jpg of that LE poster of the THREE colors as my screen background. Stupid hard drive crashed and lost it!!!!!

3 colors?

Sold for $2034.00. She doesn't run, has rust & needs a new front right fender & sold for over $2K. Not bad for just a paint job .

I was out to see RichD and see his progress on his LEC. Wow, lookin good!

Was that the one in SF w/out a drivetrain we all discussed a month or so back? If so, I'd love to see/hear about her. As most have noticed I'm kinda partial to Creamsicles. I really wish I could have nailed this one as well... she has a black interior ! I hope someone here got her or will be here soon.

No. One day Ill actually got off my ass and post a thread or update the blog with all the progress. Just seems there's enough to do just putting the thing back together let alone post and write about it.

lazy ass!

No, not the one from San Francisco. The one from San Francisco does not have a drivetrain yet. It also has alot less rust than that one did. I too hope the Ebay one goes to a good home and is restored properly.

So Mike have you decided what your going to do with yet another LE?

The three colors: there was also a green and cream LE. Don't think I've ever seen one except in a Porsche poster.

Paul

I am leaning more towards selling it. I did order a COA and am in the process of getting the title. I want her, but it will be years before I will have a three car garage or a vacation home to keep 3 914's out of the elements.

What poster? As far as I know there is no such thing as a grasshopper.

Yep, no such thing as a grasshopper...unfortunetly... PCNA took back their original claim of the three colors, because after many requests for production numbers of vin #'s they were unable to find any cars that came green and white...so there is not official grasshoppers out there.
