Creamsicle resto thread- A little sad tonight, Sold & loaded on a trailer! Headed to Florida to Tommy Options

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?

Okay so YES IT IS A CREAMSICLE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I have the original window sticker from the dealership! Here are some pictures & I am excited that it really is an 74 LE creamsicle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It runs but could use some fine tuning. Overall pretty solid. The front trunk is great with no rust. The rear trunk has some starting below the tailights but not replace the panel bad. The battery tray is another story. So much for no rust by the battery or below (lying stinking poser (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) ).

Now to the downside. There is rust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
It has a branded title (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Which really sucks as the only body damage I can find is the front drivers side fender. It was obviously swiped by something. Didn't screw anything else up just that fender. Really pisses me off that it has a branded title because of that. It needs a new fender but would be just fine once replaced.
