Default 87 930 Thinking about Selling

I am contemplating selling my 1987 930. I know there are many posts on valuation but looking for any intelligence you can share or any potential interest in the car. Here are some of the details

Guards Red
Champagne Leather interior
Complete engine out at 59,500(when I purchased the car, I told my shop to take the engine out and replace anything that needed replacement-all seals, gaskets, clutch, brakes, oil lines, and much more)
Current mileage 60,300
Upgrades(I have every original part): Fabspeed headers, Borla Exhaust, BMC Air Kit, rennline pedals, paint protection(full frontal, mirrors, rocker panels, behind rear wheel well).
New A/C lines, evaporator, converted to R134. Actually blows cold here in the hot SC summers.
Car is in outstanding condition.
Leakdown 2-3% on all cylinders
Compression test 135-140 psi on all cylinders
Head studs were checked and verified good.

Any input/interest wold be appreciated.

Try Marshall Goldman or Richard Sloan for comparable cars. Pricing is right 'up there' now. Sloan has a 1989 911 Turbo in guards red with similar miles and in similar condition. Asking $150,000, I am told.

Was it a complete engine rebuild, top end or just a reseal?
I'd say 60-85 depending on the answer to the above.

It was not a total rebuild. Engine was taken apart and all necessary parts were replaced including clutch.

Were the cases spllt? If no its not a "total" rebulid. Not being contrary. It must have not needed it. Sounds like a nice car.

Good AC is muy bueno.

No, the cases were not split, and yes this was not a total rebuild. The car was running fine when I purchased it except for some very minor oil seepage. It's just something I do when I buy a pre owned Porsche, that is, take it to my local shop(note, not a dealer) and have them go through the entire car to make sure it's as close to perfect as possible. The car is a very fine example and appreciate all the comments so far. This is an awesome forum.

I'd say 75k off the top of my head.

Thanks TT. That is in the ballpark of what I was thinking as well. If anyone is interested, please let me know.

Sounds like a really nice car....does it have a repaint? Or is it original?if your serious about selling, you might be better off removing the modifications and turning it back to stock. Personally I think your mods are perfect but it seems most high priced buyers want stock. On the plus side you can make a little extra cash selling the mods.

Thanks speednme. I do understand the originality factor and to take it back to stock is fairly simple. I believe if the new owner drove it with these minor upgrades, it would be much appreciated. Beyond that, the car is original.

Agree with Rey, the money is putting it back to stock, worth 5k more that way.
