Just ran across this very well cared for 1974 2.0L in Colorado.

Seller has a very nice video that goes through a series of pictures and it looks like a very nice car for the price.

Being a 74 2.0L, White, no sail vinyl and has a front spoiler which always makes me think LE. Former Creamy? The VIN seems to fit.

The owner is a nice gentleman, he has a lot of history with the car, talk to him.

Call 1800PORSCHE x2 and ask them if the car has paint code U2V9.

This car has carbs, a cam change and hydraulic lifters, and formerly had A/C (removed).

Whoever may check it out, please report back.

Looks like an interesting car, not sure how I'd ship a car from Colorado back to the UK though... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Be interested to hear about it though

Carl, it is possible. Another member bought my rusty but nice (is that possible?) 73 2.0L and shipped it from St. Paul, MN to the UK couple years back.

Good to know thanks, I guess it's just down to whether the finance of it makes sense then...

Hmmm... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

No Mahles, aftermarket LE air dam - couldn't tell if the air dam mounting tabs were there or not - has black targa trim and in the maintenance book, there is "SE" notation...

Continental Porsche (later, Jim Kelly), was around the corner from where I went to High School in Portland. Now sells Mini's and BMW.

Just thought I'd throw in that useless piece of info;)

I'm have interested in the car, and owner and I are talking. For my own benefit I do no wish to reveal what I found on my PPI.

Oh, ok that's fair enough I spoke to the owner earlier today and he seems a nice chap, from my own research the chasis number is in the right range for an LE but Being half way across the world I am naturally cautious about buying something like this unseen without a second opinion :-(
Curious to see if you came across any stonechips that showed any orange through the black bumpers or sill covers !

I would be very concerned about the cost to redo the interior, fix the A/C holes and rebuild the engine, considering the hyd lifters and cam change. In its current condition it will not accept the original FI and performance will be in the gutter. A full on engine build is needed to rectify.

Can you elaborate on the comment you made about the interior? Is it something specific you noticed in the pictures or a more general concern about the overall appearance/quality.

What is so "very concerning"? Is the car not driveable or enjoyable in its current "marginal" state?!
