I'll post a link to photos here but I thought 914 enthusiasts might enjoy the feature on this survivor "Bumblebee". Even if you're not in the market for anything this rare and unique it's fun to see any limited edition model so well preserved. There is a link to a YouTube video at the end of the listing. I have many more photos available if anyone is looking to acquire this gem of Porsche history. Thanks for looking. Enjoy.

I'm scheduling a Bring A Trailer auction for the 914 so if anyone is looking to own one of these LEs now would be a good time to reach out to save on buyer's fees charged by the auction Site and to avoid competition in bidding. If it's not sold prior I will post a link to the auction when it goes live!

If you are selling, you need to post a price.

Looks like this is a Minnesota car. Guessing this is the bumblebee owned by the father of the guy I bought my beautiful '73 survivor from back in 2014....Erik S. Looked like a super clean and original car and I asked about it at the time but there was no interest in selling.

Very interesting.

Will be curious to see if your LE does better on BaT than mine did.

Thank you everyone for the replies and advice. $62,000 will buy the LE. The father / son enthusiasts mentioned is indeed the same Porsche family. I've sold quite a few 912s, 356s and other classics for the family over the past 15 or so years. Each one of the vehicles they've owned and cared for has had attention to detail only a life-long Porsche enthusiast and expert can provide. Even the inside of the rear tail lights were taken apart, cleaned and detailed. I first saw this 914 taken apart on a hoist in the seller's garage around 10 years back when I was photographing his VW Thing for sale. The car was just completed this year after many years of attention.
It was sure a treat to see the restored example out there on BAT for the World to appreciate! Best of luck with your sale too. And thank you all again. -JS10
