Default Barn find, need some info ,Speedster

I found a White 911 Speedster it was built on 5/89, it also has color matched wheels in white, no leaks looks to be in excellent condition, some slight driver seat bolster wear, and shows 9,865 miles.
The roof has been in the stowed position for a few years and its sitting in a temperature controlled building.
It does have the double hump fiberglass cover over the roof/ and the lower looking windshield.
VIN WPOEB0915KS173497
Sorry no pictures. I didnt hear it run as it has a dead battery and its been sitting up on a lift.
Does anyone know what a car like this would be worth??
Thanks for your time, Stan

I found some pictures online this is what the car looks like with the factory wide body kit

Narrow body Speedster for the US market? I did a quick check in Ludvigsen's book and found 161-171 narrow bodies were built for Euroland (P. 837). And that VIN you listed is a US number.

OK. This is where I got confused. One of THE most collectible Porsches. Any going for less than market value means you had an uneducated seller.

Probably in the 70's for that car. I have seen some offered higher but they dont trade there.
