How would you market an early 930 project car for sale?

O.K. so I have reached the point in my life where I am realizing that I will never finish all of the projects that I originally planned on.
We have owned this car for 5 years, sort of bought it as an investment, It needs a total restore, but is an overall solid unmolested complete 76 euro turbo carrera.
I of course do not really want to sell, it but the reality of the situation is, I could use the money, and the space. I have stored it at my shop for 5 years now.
I would of course like to make a couple of bucks on this car, seems the general consensus is that the early turbo cars will be worth huge money in the not so distant future.
I have been watching the 930 market for the last 5 years pretty solidly, and have seen a few cars like ours go on e bay for decent money, projects that basically were similar in scope to what we have. On ebay, we stand to make a few bucks, but I cant help to wonder if tapping into the European market, and reaching out a little further may pay off in the long run. I don't need to fire sale this car, so I am willing to wait , and put a little time into it, and try to capitalize the best I can from this.
I have sold one car (1972 S targa sportomatic, light green) that went back, to the mother land, and it was a great deal for us, seems the market for the special cars, is a little stronger overseas.
I probably should have listed this in the marketplace section, but I know some of you here have sold some pretty valuable cars and some of them to out country buyers.
Any and all advice appreciated.

I would post a bunch of questions about marketing it on a Porsche forum to pique someone's intrest.

That was not really my intent, and I am not planning on moving on this in the immediate future, but there is no doubt in my mind that this is the best place to ask the question.
