Should I sell the '72T, or will I hate myself later?

Some recent life changes have me thinking that it might be time to sell the Porsche.

First, a little about the car: '72T, non sunroof, original 4-speed transmission and 5 15x6 Fuchs with 205/60 Yok AVSi's. Repainted at least twice, originally Light Ivory but now a fair approximation of Light Yellow. The engine was rebuilt about 4 years ago to a high compression 2.4E spec, using 2.2E pistons, 2.4T crank, and E cams. Case savers were installed, and the case was determined to not need any more work, according to my Porsche tech. It currently has Zenith carbs, but I have the original MFI, which most likely needs new throttle shaft bushings and a possible pump rebuild. The suspension pan was replaced when I bought the car, but could use a bit more work. There is a bit of rust at the base of the windshield pillars and around the base of the rear window.

I had the car running beautifully after the rebuild, but only after the switch to carbs. Shortly after, the car refused to run for more than a few seconds at a time, which I'm thinking might have been caused by too much crap in the fuel tank.

To be honest, I kind of gave up on it at that point. It's been sitting in the garage for close to two years now.

I've been collecting parts, as well. I've got a right front fender, hood, SC spring plates, 25mm rear TB's, an Odyssey PC1200 (which I've faithfully kept on the charger), and a few more bits and pieces that I can't think of right now.

So, Pelicans, what would you do in my situation? Any idea of the value of something like this?

Thanks,
Jim
