Seems like you can get a premium for a Bumble Bee or a 6 conversion...not both.

Just imagine if the factory would have made some of the original 6's in Bumble Bee attire...$$$$
If they had half a brain back then that's exactly what they would have done. The car was supposed to commemorate their Can-Am wins in the 917, which was subsequently banned, which is the model quietly disappeared from product at fewer than 1000 units. A proper 914 Can-Am tribute car would have been a 1974 914-6 with a 2.4l CIS engine in it. Can you imagine that car?

BTW, I've been busy this afternoon. Back shortly...
