Porsche 914 Limited Edition "Creamsicle" Can Am Package

Only 1000 Limited Edition 914s were built and 500 of them were Creamsicles. a color scheme of Light Ivory and Pheonix Red.   This car is one of only 86 Creamsicles known to still exist.   I have a Certificate of Authenticity for this car from Porsche. confirming that this is a genuine Limited Edition car.  You can learn more about these special cars by searching for the Can Am Registry.  This one is listed under 15066.  I am fortunate in that this is the second 914LE I have owned.  I had one in the early 1980s that I kept for quite a few years.  This one is actually nicer than the one I had then. that was less than 10 years old when I bought it.  As you can see from the pictures. this car appears to have been treated with loving care for all its life.

This 914 is in very original condition.   The paint. interior (including an 8-track am/fm radio). and engine are all original and the car still looks great. and runs and drives beautifully.   The 2. 0 engine has the original mechanical fuel injection. which has never given me any problems at all.   I've owned the car for 10 years after buying it from a gentleman in Asheville North Carolina.  To my knowledge. there are only a few minor things that are not original.   After purchasing it I had the fuel pump moved from its original position to the Porsche recommended location. forward of the engine compartment.  I bought new reproduction center caps for the wheels. new reproduction lug nut covers. the battery. tires (except for the spare which is original). and a new tail light lens cover.   Everything in the car works. except for the clock. the cold-start valve. and the odometer.   The clock worked when I bought it and for several years afterwards. but it likely needs lubricating now.   The hands move occasionally. but it no longer keeps any semblance of time. like it once did.   The cold-start valve is not really needed in my climate. so I simply unhooked and capped the hose leading to it and the car starts right up winter or summer here with no issues.   The odometer stopped not many drives ago after I tried to reset the trip-meter to zero.   That apparently jammed something.   The miles showing are 49. 68 and I do not believe that the car has been driven more than 500 miles since the odometer stopped.  Several years ago I had the car shipped via professional enclosed car carrier to Automobile Atlanta for expert service.  They replaced the original battery tray with an exact duplicate of the original and found no rust problems beneath the tray.  They serviced the car and replaced a few worn parts and hoses with OEM parts. or replicated parts when OEM was no longer available.

All of the gauges work and the heater. original radio. fog lights. pop-up headlights. intermittent and two speed windshield wipers. hazard lights. etcetera work very well.   The very nice original condition of the car is evidence of the low mileage and the care with which it has been driven and maintained.   A previous owner of the car was a Amateur Radio enthusiast and had an antenna installed on the rear truck lid.   The installation created a drill-hole in the rear trunk lid. but it was well capped-off when I bought it and has been fine since.  There are no rust issues.  Other than a few surface spots in the front trunk and on the battery tray (literally just started surface discoloration and pictured below) I am aware of no rust whatsoever.

You can hear the vehicle run in this video I took with my cell phone the other day. and uploaded to YouTube:

The car is located in North Carolina and as long as I have owned the car. it has always been garaged.  The 1974 New York tag on the car is one I bought on ebay because in NC you can run tags the year of the car. as long as the regular tag is in the vehicle.  North Carolina does issue titles for vintage cars and I do have the clear title to it.
