Wow he seems to have a few! Is it a BB Jeff? Sure looks to be at the least possibly an LE. If it isn't a rust bucket that's a steal

Need more investigating than just a picture on Craigslist. Why are those Mahle's alloy not yellow? Maybe a tribute car? I had a dream I found a BB in a barn somewhere in America...cool dream.

Sure more probing is required, but nothing looks out of place so far for it to not be a BB For the same reason the original yellow front bumper was painted black. |

But, would a guy who has that many 914s really not know what to look for?
It could be a ruse........? |

I'm in SFO, it was really hard not to grab a rental and head down.ut I sure don't need another project. Even if it's a LE. That would be worse,cause then I'd have to play with it.

I've seen those cars once. They are all a pile of Rudy, barely hold togethers by a combination of mud and ducktape. |

I agree, be very careful thinking you are out-thinking a guy with a yard full of 914's. It could be a BB, or it could be a car with some yellow paint and wheels. The difference is in the details. Buying a car based on a few visual cues can lead to a lot of $$$ trouble. Like the time I went to go buy a 67 911S, except the S was the S on the VIN plate that meant it was made in Stuttgart. You can read about it here. Attached thumbnail(s)
