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?

Congratulations. That is another early one. Funny thing the earliest ones are all creamsicles. Original engine should be near GA012400 but may be in the 12300's. What is the body #?

I hope the enigne is th original. You have me worried now. Guess I won't know until the COA comes in the mail. Here are some pics of the rust around the battery tray. Also I pulled the rocker on one side. Lots of orange underneath (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Also a pic of the rust in the rear trunk (not to bad)
