You need photos of the bike. Go to "Advanced Editor" and click on the "attachments" paper clip. 
As far as value. It all depends on condition. Rough, it could be as low as $40.
In just off the showroom floor condition, perhaps as high as $300.
Those are solid old bikes. But there were a lot of them made. So, I'd always encourage tuning them up, and using them, pretty or not.

Decent one in my area seller is asking $35 and it’s been for sale for a month. Color and paint condition along with rust or the lack of are all important

Varsitys aren’t worth much and a 27” frame is worth even less unless you can find someone who is pretty darned tall. About $50 around here, however, I just had someone give me one for free!
