'74 Euro Carrera clone...roller?

I'm weighing some options in my car herd thinning project, and one possibility would be putting up for sale my 95% track/race car but as a roller. I'm trying to establish a value, and possible interest.

It started life as a '74 911, had body work and engine work added to bring it to Euro Carrera spec. In short, it's a short hood with RS/SC style flares, and a duck tail. Full race torsion bar suspension:

All of the following installed brand new by TRE:

Raised spindle Bilstein RSR struts
custom valved Bilstein inserts
custom valved and ride-height-correct shortened rear Bilstein shocks
Elephant racing bump steer kit
Elephant racing polybronze bushings everywhere possible
Elephant racing de-cambered ball joints
Elephant racing ASP spring plate system
New steering rack
New turbo tie rods
new wheel bearings
Tarrett anti-roll bars front and rear with reinforcement plates on front and rear mounts
Tarrett camber offset upper strut mounts with monoballs
custom RSR style front strut brace
hollow 23 front and 31 rear torsions
Oil cooling system plumbed to accomodate 275 tires in the rear (current tires are 245 RA-1s)
Transmission cooling plumbing installed with left front fender cooler, inline pump and filter
TRE Club sport roll bar
RS style light weight carpet kit
One new Sparco Evo driver's seat
Toyo RA-1s (225/245)
window net
Removable front tow hook

Came with the car when I bought it, before TRE laid loving hands on it:

slotted rotors (still in spec)
M calipers
SS brake lines
16" 7x8 Fuchs (951s I believe)
original aluminum trailing arms
One Sparco Rev passenger's seat
FG duck tail
FG front and rear bumpers (no smile up front)
large, front mount oil cooler
Momo Prototipo (quick release I installed may or may not stay)
RS interior door panels
Windshield wiper reverse
kill switch
Sprayer delete (one hole has kill switch pull in it)
Rear tow hook
Sparco 5 point harnesses


Other:

There's no headliner
former sunroof was filled with fiberglass insert; looks fine outside; inside it's obvious
The dash is somewhat cracked
The car is white, with plenty of rock chips, and as of now, some rubber streaks from the track
Gaps are not perfect
Doors don't close with that beautiful ping and they're not perfectly flush all around
Paint is below average at this point, with some ham-fisted patch jobs
It's rust free

The car is far from perfect cosmetically, but is a sensational track car, and was on its way towards being a full race car. The plus side of its condition is that you can drive it with utter impunity, with no regard whatsoever for rocks, sand, and whatever else the car in front of you kicks up. At this point, it's a bit over-developed to really enjoy freely on the street, but a little de-tuning could fix that.

Possible option, depending on what happens: a no compromise race 915 with new short gears, 8:31, all Wevo internals and side plate, turbo bearings, 80/80 LSD, new synchros, all new bearings, blueprinted housings, custom internal spray bar, and plumbed for cooling. It's a beast of a transmission, which cost over $6k to build. Included would be Wevo shifter with long knob, and Stomski coupler.

Thoughts?

If you have the patience, I think you could do better parting it out. Maybe 10K as is (no motor, trans)? Hard to find the right buyer when there a plenty of completed projects out there at a fraction of build cost (30-50% or so)
