Wow, all I can say is....wow. Short of true '68 dealer demo in silver and red, this is as good as it gets. (I only scanned a few pics though)
Seeing as how that one (which was re-done and not stock, and many more miles and whether you feel "redone really nice and modified to be "better" is worth more than "as delivered by dealer")
sold for $12,600

I'd say this is "worth" $20,000 and I'd expect to get it, might get much much more than that if the right few people start fighting over it.
Clean it up, send to Barrett Jackson, retire.
or least take a really nice vacation.....
I wonder though, since sitting undriven all that time if it would be better not to even try to start it. The value is in the originality but to make it drivable it probably should be gone through from stem to stern, prime the oil pump, change out all fluids(?) brake at least, check all rubber hoses, boots, seals. This really is "neglect" in a sense, since long term storage should include heavy doses of proper protection like waxes and such, blocks, engine prep, blah blah blah. A potential "collector" status buyer may pay more it it is completely untouched. Just wondering.
Is the antennae just not extended? Isn't that the little key on the key chain for it? I wonder if it was ever even up.
Cool
PS I see tomcat said the same thing really about gaskets, personally if I had the car and didn't care to keep it, I think I'd maximize my profit and simplify life by advertizing heavily all original as is and go for $20,000, if no go, then maybe sink in some money cleaning it up and making it back to road worthy, then try again, hard to think that way, if I had it I KNOW what I'd do and sell it isn't even on the radar.
