In my opinion, much of the 'value' of a restored Bertone was lost when the engine conversion was done. I have a V8 powered 242 -- so I like them that way. But as clean as mine is, all the money that's been put into the conversion doesn't help value of the car much, if at all.
One of the biggest challenges here is that different people have VASTLY differing opinions about what 'pristine' or 'excellent' or ' like new' means. Without seeing a lot of detailed pictures, it's really hard to even hazard a guess on value. And, of course, it can look good in pics and have LOTS of problems in person. Hemmings lists the value of that car on the 'high' side as $6,000. Therein lies your problem.
Having said that, recently a 5.0L wagon that wasn't particularly clean went for almost $10k on the Bring-A-Trailer site. You might consider auctioning your car there. www.bringatrailer.com. They make the decisions about which cars they auction each week.
If it's truly as clean as you describe, my guess is that the right buyer might be willing to part with something between $7500 and $10,000. If a buyer offered more than that (or auction) I'd jump on it if selling it is something you truly want to do.
