This car appears to be in worse shape than mine.
Porsche : 911 S in Porsche | eBay Motors
There are very few examples for sale.. but this is one and I dont know how good nada is but look here:

I agree with most everything you said re: head studs.. a documented case fix is probably worth $1k more on a middie with a mag case?? but that is peanuts to this pricing Im seeing above.. back in 2007 my car was worth maybe 7kish.. (mine is undocumented but clearly the case was opened at some point). if it is worth $10k now that is a pretty good jump.. but if its worth $13k links SUGGEST.. and I realize this "sample" is very very tiny, but its all I can find... than that is a rather large jump in price??
Im not telling Im asking.. which is why I am posting here..
I guess I was blown away seeing the bids and the $13k on the ebay auction..

Personally though I have torn down three of these engines and found pulled (not broken) head studs in each case (in each case). If fixed right I see no issue with these cars and why they can't fetch a good price. But if your car has not had a documented repair to the case, then I would have to assume (despite good compression numbers) that a rebuild will be needed in the near future. That would put the value of a rust-free, running example with rough interior at $10K tops (for me). If you can actually check and torque the head studs and verify that they are all tight, that might add some value or at least make the sale easier.
Great color by the way!
