How rare is this really?

My mom was at a Goodwill store while dropping off stuff and stumbled upon this and got it for a steal. Little did she know when she gave it to me that she had found a pink 10 WE 1500! It's in rough shape as you'll see in the photo's below. This was about a year ago and I never got the chance to start restoration work on it, which I hope to be doing soon. It's pretty filthy but absolutely NO cracks, and the scratches aren't as bad as many.

Date on the bottom is 11-67, all mechanical parts inside are also '67. Plastics are dated 68 so it seems to be an all matching set. Only things that don't match are the receiver and transmitter with dates of 64 and 58.

So, just how rare is this pink 1500 I found?

I learned a bit too late that 1500s are considered quite collectable and go for alot of money.  I would guess that yours, being pink, is worth even more, maybe $100+?
