Fix any nits and put any non-stock stuff back to stock, get a thorough PPI through a reputable shop with compression and leak down numbers (spring for a valve adjust and ensure no broken head studs while you're in there - make sure it's documented in the PPI), run a paint meter on the car and post the report, run a carfax and post in the auction, pull the speedo and show that the date stamp matches the production of the car, and shoot all the photos COLB listed.
You'll still have to deal with a lot of (negative, and positive) chatter from the peanut gallery, but at least you'll have your ducks in a row. Cheap insurance.
I'm of the $51k is strong money/daydream camp, but two buyers could really want the car - set your reserve at a price you're comfortable with and be cordial as possible to the trolls with their commentary.
