You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,627 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None |
I stumbled across this ad in Little Rock for a "72 914" but looking at the pics it has 74 bumpers and Bumble Bee paint scheme. Underside pic shows side shift trans. If I was closer I would go look. They are asking $700. Someone needs to go check it out and at least get the vin info and such for the database here and for Jeff's 914LE site.

Wow. Extremely rare car found by chance. Good eye to the guy who was suspiscious and congrats to the new owners! That car is going to need a lot of new metal and a costly and lengthy restoration to bring it back to its former glory. But with so few left and few to begin with, it's worth it if you have the time and funds. Parting would be such sweet sorrow as only a handful of parts are really valuable being unique to the LE and the rest I presume would be valued the same as any 914. But complete and restored, 2-3x as much. There's always someone who has the time and money and willingness to restore a car in this condition. I just hope it's not modified or molested and restored to stock.
In other LE news, after 5 months in the shop, I finally get my LE back today - it's birthday. My LE 'Valentine' turns 40 years old today! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
