I also heard the opinion of who I assume is the same "expert" a year or two ago. Quoted the same number - "add $4-5000 to the value if a 356 has a factory sunroof". I surmised that he was in a bit of a time warp. When nice 356 coupes could be had for $11-12,000 his valuation was probably accurate. IMHO a sunroof will usually add about 40-50% to the value when comparing two similar cars. I also figure that a cab is typically worth double the value of a similar coupe.
I've been thinking about values a bit more lately because I'm thinking of selling my 1960 Sunroof coupe. It is the only known T5 with a factory electric sunroof and also has 14 other factory installed options(Signal Seek Koln Radio, Electric WISI antenna, Full Leather, Chrome wheels, Hella 128, etc.).
Very, very nice car, but not concours. Since it is essentially a "one-off" it is a bit difficult to come up with a fair price for it. I'm not inclined to try to get every last nickel out of it. But I have put a lot of time and effort into this car over the years and do not want to sell it for X, only to see it quickly resold for X times 2. Based on recent sales I'm guessing it is worth around $125,000 in the current market. But opinions welcomed because, as I said, it's hard to put a value on a one-off.
I wouldn't sell it except I just found my ultimate 911 - a 1968 911S Soft Window Targa with either 13,000km or 113,000km (I see a few things that point to 9,000 miles, but find that hard to believe). This has caused me to rethink which cars to keep and which ones to sell. Since I have 2 other 356's(63 Cabriolet & 65 Sunroof) I'm leaning toward passing on the 60 since I've owned it for almost 10 years.

Put Carrera badges on it and ask the expert if he'll buy it for 125. He'll make a killing.
