What's my Porsche Worth???

Bear with me, it's been a long time since I've been on this site.

I have a 1981 SC Targa that I've had for over 10 years. In that time I don't think I've put 1500 miles on it (I know,,,,,for SHAME!!) The color is Anthracite (basically coal black).

It has around 135,000 miles on it, and I have no receipts indicating any diving into the motor. The valves are adjusted and it has the Carerra covers and a couple of new rockers. The tranny was gone thru and I have the receipts for that. The paint is 9.5 plus, and I have a 3-piece Porsche bra and a Porsche car cover. I also have a complete and separate FI system as well as a new electric antenna (not installed) and a new fuel pump. The stereo is older, but it is a great AM/FM/CD system with 6 speakers. The Targa top, dash, door panels, and seats have all been redone and are in perfect condition. I replaced all o-rings on the injectors, and also a few gaskets.

It was lowered by Denny Khaler (sp?) in Dublin Ca, and also has upgraded torsion bars. The Fuchs are great. The tires have lots of tread, but they are old, and if it were me I would put new ones on. I have books, FI books, and misc parts. There's more, but you get the idea.

The car was always a SF Bay Area car until I bought it. The owner of Poboys Porsche in Oakland was the one who completely went through this car and made it what it is.

The downside. I need to put a new battery in it. It passes smog no problem. I'm Wuhr poor as I have three. The vehicle struggles to warm up. Once warm, it runs like a top. So far my mechanic up here hasn't found out why. I'm gonna try him one more time, then might have to move on.

So what should I ask for a fairly quick sale? I'm not looking for top dollar, I just want a fair price that someone would look at and think to themselves that's a great price.

I know it's difficult without pics (somewhere in the dust of this forum server I posted some) but if folks can give me a ballpark number it would be greatly appreciated. I haven't kept up regarding these cars, and I don't know what to ask. And of course, if you need to verify the condition, VASH is my friend, but will honestly attest to the condition of this car.

Thanx in advance for any help you can throw my way. Brian
