Here's my take on your car. What a sweet ride and a sweet car. Especially more so since the car was taken to a respected Porsche tech for its maintenance. You didn't tell us the following:
Does she blow blue smoke when you lift the throttle after hard acceleration?
When was the clutch done?
Has the gearbox been rebuilt?
Value on this car, for insurance replacement purposes ie total loss, is closer to 70k. (you'll pay mightly for the premiums but you'll find someone to write the policy if you drive the car less than 3,000 miles a year.)
Think about it: find the chassis, find the engine/webers and gearbox, find the other misc pieces and interior, then find someone to put it together for you -- the right way.
If you are looking for market value, I agree with TechWeenie, the price is between 40k and 50k.
I"m sure the 3.2 engine in your car needs a good going through, especially the heads. Anytime I see a car like yours I ask myself what are the items that require attention? If the seller can't document things like, engine rebuilds, gearbox rebuilds, clutch, etc. I start reducing the price I'm willing to pay for the car. (I agree with TW that this car reeks of potentially very expensive deferred maintenance.)
Remember that the asking and the sale price is a covenant between the buyer and seller. What most of us "amateur experts" are willing to pay for a car is way different than what an "amateur first time Porsche" buyer will pay for a car.
If you are looking for a starting price to sell the car, start high and work lower. If you are looking for total loss insurance replacement on the car, buy the most insurance that you can afford. I have a 75 911 that I'm doing a complete professionally done backdate/repaint and rebuild to 72s look with a 3.0 PMO'd engine with all new interior, rebuilt gauges, etc. blah blah. I'll insure for total loss around 100k.
