What's the current market for Bumblebees? Options

[billh1963]

NOTE: This is NOT an ad! If I decide to sell I will post a proper ad.....

I'm continuing to thin out my car hoard and am thinking about selling my '74 LE (bumblebee).

The good:
Authentic LE with Porsche documentation
Good looking car as is
Ran decent when I bought it
Paint from doors back may be original

The bad:
Not original engine (correct year but off by a four hundred on s/n per Jeff)
Typical hell hole rust
Not currently running (fuel pump not running...may be bad connection, relay or pump)
Missing LE spoiler

I own the second one listed after yours on the Jeff's LE Registry, 474214854, and it is motor number matching according to a COA done during the 1990s and again in 2015, prior to the new PPS protocol. I find it interesting that the motor number GA013014 is out of sequence with the LEs before and after it. I suppose it is true that the factory didn't worry much about sequence with these cars maybe because non-LE cars were produced in between in no particular sequence over a three month period.

I have a spare original LE spoiler and a decent replica so they do turn up occasionally and wouldn't dock your car's value very much for what I can see. I'd place the value, depending on rust, at more like $25k USD. The matching motor case would raise that of course.
