Gracing the Green in a 914: The first and only appearance of a Porsche 914 LE Can Am at an Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance event, 914 LE Can Am at the Cars and Coffee at the Concours Options

The 2015 20th Anniversary of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, arguably the better of the two most prestigious car shows in the world, did a great service to a car that has long been overdue. It celebrated and honored the Porsche 914 as its featured marque for the 20th Anniversary of the Concours, displaying the 914 in unprecedented form. So much so, that it did not include any other classic Porsche models in the Porsche section. All the green was reserved just for the 914. Only a handful of other Porsche models were present at the Concours, a few in the Rally section and a few production cars in an assortment of other marques. But the Concours would have no other cars occupy the Porsche field to deter attention from the 914. In fact, it left a large open green in front of the display, commanding attention and demanding the respect it deserves. Only the rarest of the rare in the 914 family were on display at the Sunday Concours, save one impeccably restored 914/6. A 916 (11 made), a slew of historically significant 914/6 GT race cars, and the infamous one and only 350 bhp prototype 914/8 that belonged to Herr Pierch himself.

On the Saturday Cars and Coffee at The Concours event, a handful of 914s graced the Concours green as well, one of which being the rarest of the 914 productions cars sold to the public - the LE Can Am. A 'Creamsicle' no less, the rarer by almost half of the remaining two American Limited Edition Can Am production cars (Creamsicle and Bumblebee).

This is for the fans of the LE.

High Resolution pictures of the car are available for those interested. Enjoy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yes I do. Thanks. I believe that was in another thread though and written and posted when I was at the Concours and obviously very excited at the time. And maybe could have said that differently instead of thinking out loud from excitement, which I have since. But that's not at all what I've said repeatedly on this dedicated thread and I've made it overly clear here. I was very meticulous drafting the intro to this thread as an opening piece to the Concours and what was there and when. As the berating has continued after many requests to stop in trying to move on to the cars, some seem are only interested in continuing the harassing. So I've decided to stop posting the pictures of the cars altogether. I haven't even gotten to the GTs and the rest of the cars or the rest of the show for that matter. I took just under 1,000 detailed photos. But even some here have complained about too many pictures. They haven't even considered that some have told me they would like to use the multiple pictures and angles for originality and restoration purposes, which was just another reason for posting more. I also already explained the other reasons there are so many pictures. I'm done repeating. Everybody go back and read before you throw your .02 in. It's already been answered. People are going to hate no matter what. And continue to ridicule without even reading the answers to the questions they keep asking, being childish and immature, though they think they're so clever. It's not worth my time to share anymore. Some continue to choose to ruin it for everybody. So I'm just kind of done now.
