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?

A good indication of a LE, via Jeff Bowlby's web site:

Either L80E (Light Ivory) or L041 (Black) and manufactured between Feb and July 1974.

I agree with Kelty360 that the wheels and spoiler should be painted Orange (Creamsicle) and the strip should also be Orange, but you can't judge a book by it's cover....

Here's a LE (Creamsicle) I discovered after I purchased it as a donor car. After studying Jeff's web site I was convinced it was a LE, so I sent off for the COA and confirmed that indeed it was a Creamsicle ('Can Am' Limited Edition Package).... Here's what the car looks like today, before I start restoration....



And COA....

Porsche has a 1-800 #. I don't remember where I got it. You just need your vin & they will send it out. Takes 4-6 weeks for it to all go thru. Cost like $75 too but well worth it.
