As to value, original LEs in good condition have sold for 12K or more. I have seen an appraisal on a Bumble Bee from 1996 that valued it at 10K back then.
LEs are worth more to some than others. Really they are worth what someone is ready, willing and able to pay. Estimates are that there were only 1000 LEs produced, while over 3300 914-6s were built, but the sixes have always demanded greater value. I doubt the one on eBay is worth the 9K starting price. It is not an original six nor is it any longer an "original" LE. It would seem quite unlikely that someone would want to purchase the car to convert back to original conditon. Too many original parts are gone. And for collectors, if you had to have one, there are quite a few LE in near original condition that could be purchased for the "right price." The salvage title can be a problem. Definately a negative impact on value to many prospective buyers. (See past threads on this board.) Also the fact that it was in a flood means you really don't know what you are going to have to deal with. New motor, electrical issues, rust, who knows? I don't care much for the front, but otherwise it looks good. Maybe someone will want it bad enought to take a risk. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
