Description of 1974 Porsche 914

Re-listing because previous buyer failed to pay after selecting buy it now. Please bid our buy only if you intend to follow through. Not fair to me or others interested in the vehicle.
This 1974 Porsche 914 LE is in absolutely amazing condition inside and out. Reportedly they only made 1,000 total LE units, 00 of which were in this color. After reviewing the LE registry it appears there are less than 10 in the US that are even close to the condition of this vehicle. There are a few more overseas, ut this is clearly one of the few left and they RARELY come up for sale. The only reason I am selling is that I have another vehicle in mind that requires me to part with one of my 4 Porsches.
This is not a numbers matching engine but does have a replacement 914 2.0L engine in the vehicle
LESS THAN 1% OF ALL 914'S EVER BUILT WERE LIMITED EDITION CAN AMS (1,000) - EVEN RARER THAN THE LEGENDARY 914-6 OF WHICH 3,351 WERE SOLD (MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY)
The body on the car is in excellent shape with recent paint. There are no signs of rust anywhere on the car (undercarriage to floors to battery compartment and so on). All mechanicals work and the car starts, dles, nd runs perfectly. There are no leaks anywhere under the car. The interior is in excellent condition and includes brand new Coco Mats, eplacement sun visors, new center console unit, ew interior light, ustom car cover and many more bits that I will provide with the car. I also have two sets of the porsche side stripes, ne of which I just recently had custom made to match the correct paint code but have yet to put on the car.
Petrolicious is quoted as saying "Finding an original example might be a challenge--especially one of the 1974 Limited Edition models in Can-Am racing series livery."
A little bit about the history of the Porsche 914 LE
Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) states that there are two essential features required of all authentic Porsche 914 Limited Edition cars. 1.) The exterior paint color scheme of either U1V9 (which this one is) or U2V9, nd 2.) Optional Equipment Package M-778 (Can Am Equipment). Both of these items appear on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) that I have for the car and the importance of documenting these two required items cannot be overemphasized.
This Porsche has a black (L04I) body / sunflower yellow (L13K) accent - 'Bumblebee' The corresponding paint number is U1V9. Black body paint color was always an additional cost special option on standard 914 Porsche cars, ut was included as a standard component on the black 914 LE cars.
This LE is equipped with the Can Am Optional Equipment Package M-778. A few of those details are listed below:
914 Can Am front spoiler Specially-designed for the 914 Can Am Equipment Package, he front spoiler is a unique part on the 914 Can Am cars not originally available on standard 914s. The spoiler is of much better quality and detailing than the common aftermarket 914 LE front air dams of similar shape, nd is fully molded on all surfaces. I
914 Limited Edition side stripes: Before the introduction of the 914 Porsche Can Am cars, orsche 914 side stripes were of the 'positive' lettered design style, s an optional dealership accessory and in black and white only. The negative-lettered 914 Limited Edition side stripe design, hich is the most popular 914 side stripe even today, as designed and produced as a special component of the 914 Can Am Equipment Package.
Alloy Wheels: Mahle (4-bolt) cast aluminum wheels, ncluding the spare in the front trunk, ith painted wheel centers in the matching accent color. This car also comes with two extra rims.
Appearance Group Equipment: Foglights, enter console with clock, il temperature and voltmeter gauges, eatherette steering wheel, eather shiftlever boot, nd center seatpad. The Targa bar vinyl and lower bright metal trim were deleted and bumpers are painted, ot chromed.
2.0L engines: All 914 LE cars have 2.0L fuel-injected engines.
She is ready to go and just in time for spring. These don't come up that often. COA available upon request. I also have some receipts from the last owner on the maintenance work he had done to the car.
