914World.com _ 914World Garage _ So why has no one STOLEN this original Bumblebee?

Anyone here seen this car in person?

Yeah I know it needs a total redo, but looks like a reasonable value...especially for an east coast car. What is the skinny...?

It had a couple bids and both were retracted...so Whazzup...?

I have no vested interest BTW...

The bidding is at $2,500. Does the LE label make this worth more, considering the work ($$$) required to restore it?

What would it be worth in its condition, on the right coast if were not an LE?

Previous sale values of LEs show that they are worth more...anywhere from $500 to $2000

I would say that it is not getting any bids because it appears to be an awful mess.

Engine - questionable with problems
Brakes - shot
Interior - cracked and split
Windshield - need to be replaced
Heater - questionable
Exterior - banged, dented, rippled and needs paint
Exhaust - Heat exchangers and exhaust heed to be replaced
Rust - seller states that there is no major rust. But, this car has been stored outside in New Jersey. I'd bet I could find some.

Even here on the East Coast, that car is not worth the starting bid.
