There's a Bumblelbee on Bring a Trailer. Looks to be in decent shape, but not perfect.

Do we still pick apart cars for sale?

I can see a very obvious 70-73 speedometer. The engine is not the original one, and I'm not wild about the yellow engine tin. The MPS mounting is odd, plus it looks like the cap on top of the right-side heater J-tube is missing. And it has the ever-popular zip-tie holding the side-shift cover on, just like my car! A couple'a dash cracks (on on the dash cap, one on the knee pad), the more recent radio, the extra return spring at the throttle arm. No rear badging, the side stripes are not installed, and the heat exchangers are tired.

That's pretty much all nit-picky stuff, though. Any speculation on what it'll go for?

Recent radio? not recent enough....Looks like its a Cassette player.

One of the cars I have came with a 8 track in it complete with a Tommy James Tape on track one.

Never really liked that color scheme. Don't like the yellow tins on it either.

Sold for 15,000. Great buy IMO! Hopefully not a flipper.

I agree it was well bought. I think a $5000 investment in parts/labor could get this car back to a great 'Bee. It needs a few things but seems to have great bones.
