Sorry about the engine...this does suck, but you sound like a guy who has tools and isn't afraid to use them. If you sell the car broken, you're going to lose money.

If you rebuild the engine properly, you may spend what seems like a stupid amount of money, but if you're in it for the long haul its the smartest move from a $ perspective. Furthermore, if you can do it yourself, it may not be that bad and you will learn a ton. Clear your head, get the "How to rebuild and modify your Porsche 911 engine" book and get her back on the road.

EDIT: even if there is damage to the crank, all is not lost. There are guys who can repair or recondition, depending on the extent of damage.
