Value of a driver quality long hood?

I have a 1970 911T that has had a few modifications and it's share of rock chips along the way. I bought the car a little over a year ago and I'm wondering what it might be worth on the real market. We have all read Bruce Anderson's estimates and while those are nice they don't apply to every car.

Originally this car left the factory as a 1970 911T in India Red with Tan interior. Sometime in the late 1980s the car was restored and the RS flares were added. The front and rear bumpers were changed. The rear is steel and the front is a fiberlass S replica. At the same time the car was painted metallic gray. The mileage is guessed at 215K on the body since the odometer has turned over.

Here are the stats as I know them....

1970 911T

1974 Mag case 915

One axle with new CV boots/grease

Swepco 201 recently put in but still a slight grind in 2nd and 3rd

All new bushings in the shift mechanism and coupler

No idea if the 2.2 has been rebuilt, based on the way it drives I would say it has been rebuilt once. It does smoke on startup and pulls strong

New engine and transmission mounts

New Dansk sport muffler

Restored air cleaner housing

New fuel lines in the rear of the car

New tunnel boots for the accelerator cable and clutch cable.

Recently rebuilt alternator, new voltage regulator

Sucro headlight relay kit

Recent valve adjustment but valves are still a bit noisy indicating worn guides


Neatrix bushings in the rear suspension

New Konis all the way around

22mm Weltmeister front sway, not currently connected because one end of the bar needs some machining to be square again

Standard Tan seats

New Carpeting

Fittipaldi steering wheel

15x7s and 8s with new Bridgestone G-Force Sport Tires 205/55R15s and 225/50R15s

The car needs new suspension bushings and ball joints up front as well as the things mentioned above.

As far as rust the front pan has been replaced and both rockers were replaced at some point. I found two small areas in the front wheel wells with spots of rust and there is some perforation in the driver's side longitudinal ahead of the rear suspension area.

At some time a rear sway bar was installed and brackets were installed on the torsion tube. I removed the rear sway bar and the brackets can be ground off.

The tach and speedo bounce a bit. I think the speedo needs a new cable and the tach may need to be rebuilt. The voltage is stable with the new alternator.
