Question on value - Ok'ish 1983 Targa with lots of upgrades

Looking for input on car's value. Chassis is potentially high mileage- ~300k TMU
Interior - a bit rough. Rear seats and side panel leather is dry and hard and sun bleached somewhat. Carpets are old and not great condition. Climate control features not 100%. Heat works but is backdated. Footwell blower inop. Front seats have been replaced with cloth Recaros. Steering wheel is a Momo Prototipo

Exterior - also a bit rough. Few dents, rear decklid gaps not even. Paint is good at 10' away but get close and you see some flaws. Has period correct Gemballa skirts and frt bumper. Targa top will soon receive full stg 4 rebuild.

Motor - lots of work in last few years. Recent rebuild with all bearings replaced, upgraded studs and rod bolts. Reliable, decent power, EFI with ITBs has never failed me since ditching CIS. Does have a couple of leaks at chain box/covers. Has desirable 930/52 case paired with 83 SC heads and all the common upgrades like tensioners and valve covers.
Very responsive - ITBs, EFI, alum pp, alum flywheel, 2.7 crank and rods, BBE heat exchangers, sport and race muffler both available.

bumpsteer kit, 930 tie rods, sticky Conti Sport Contact tires with like 90% left on them.
Basically, its a driver with lots of mods that is a blast to drive but not going to win any shows anytime soon. I feel like the motor and the driving experience are the highlights.

Here is a more comprehensive list of mods:
