If the car is as original as you say, it is certainly a worthwhile restoration candidate. The soft window targas are most desireable, and given their relative rarity, values should continue to stay ahead of coupes and glass window targas.
Polo red is a good color, it sound like it may have some interesting options, (rear seat delete, etc.) and if the body and suspension support areas are not badly rusted, you could have a fun project on your hands.
Genuine parts for these cars are getting harder to find every year, and the repops I have seen for things like trim, gaskets and switchgear are not really correct enough in many cases to even fit properly. Great challenge scouring swap meets, bulletin boards and the like though, so don't let that stop you.
Oh yeah, MFI rebuilds have really popped up in price as of late, too>>
Good luck, keep us posted, WE WANT PICTURES!!!
