No idea on value, as this is sort of a unique situation with the low miles, highly desirable color/trans/trim level, and expensive wheels and axle. Not many examples to compare it to since few very low mileage SOM WS6s end up as rollers but, to the right buyer, I'm sure it would be worth quite a bit more than the average LS1 M6 roller.
BUT, as a huge fan of Christine, I just wanted to say that your username stood out to me. Nice choice!

RPMWS6 Im blown away that you noticed and knew where I got that from! The whole reason I am considering selling my WS6 is because I purchased a 58 Plymouth so now I have 2 projects instead of one. Im pretty attached to the WS6 but I have been looking for a 58 for a long long time.

Plymouths of that era are hard to come by, I only know of one '57 and one '58 in my area, both are red/white like the movie car. The '57 is obviously a bit different, but close enough to be very reminiscent in the same color combo.
Good luck with your '58; it's a very cool and unique car, one to be proud of for sure!

I'd place the value of a complete, stock, SOM WS6 M6 with 34K miles in the $16K-$18K range. SOM on a stock WS6 brings about a 15-20% premium imo. Since this car won't be stock, the ending premium, once fully reassembled might be on the order of +10% to +15%. You'd have to adjust for the cost to reinstall the drive-train parts and the fact that it's no longer stock.

Well most ratted out complete cars can be had in the 4-5k range. And most rollers with a lot more aftermarket money in them can fetch 6-8k. And I'm talking cage, 9", drag wheels, tubular suspension, fuel system, etc.
Given that this has the 6-speed, a 9" and CCW wheels with a low-mileage SOM body... I think you could ask for something in that 8k range. The 6-speed by itself is worth 2-3k. The 9" is another 2-3k. CCW wheels are in that 2-3k range as well. So you might be better off putting a takeout engine in it and selling as a complete (non-numbers matching car) or parting it out if you wanted more than that.
But as others have said, that car with the original motor would be in that 15k+ range easily.
