bezee,
Where are you located? The bike is definitely valuable. You should have it looked at by a competent shop that has experience with older bicycles. There may be a knowledgeable forum member near you.
Personally I would keep it if it were mine. The value will only continue to go up.
Whatever you do, don't sell it to the first person that offers you a few hundred for it, restored it could be worth a few thousand, I would guess.
