Hey I came across a 914 for sale. I talked with the guy on the phone & he says it's a 73 2.0 car. It was in dry storage for a while but he couldn't find any rust. BOth trunks look good & he says below the battery there is NO Rust. I know I will believe that when I see it myself. Still I asked him to send me some pictures. I see bumper tits on the front bumper & know it's a 74. I also see Mahle wheels & an LE front spoiler (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . Car runs & shifts great too! The side stripe isn't the right color for an LE though right?
How can I find out if it is an LE?
Vin#?
Then where would I find LE vins?

Its a Licorice LE , untracable, very rare. If it truly is that rust free score.

No! Just one of my many connections paying off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
Actually that is true. Funny how some cars come up when people know you have one. I can't say I need the car but it should make someone happy eventually (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
