Subject: [CR]Sell or restore early 80's Colnago?

In 1983, I purchased a Colnago bicycle which I still own today. I am considering either restoring or selling it, but I don't have enough information to decide the best course. Can anyone estimate what this bicycle might be worth in its current condition? Here are some specifics:

The frame size 56cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube.

Cinnelli handlebars and stem.

Campagnolo Super Record crankset, 53 tooth

Regina freewheel

Campagnolo Nuovo Record front and rear derailleur, shift levers, front and rear break assemblies, front and rear hubs, bottom bracket set, lugs, and headset

Campagnolo Gran Sport Seat post

Concour saddle

Mavic G-40 rims

There is some rust coming through the chrome front forks and chainstay.

Rust spots have appeared in a couple of places on the frame. Two large spots of rust are on the top tube, and are starting to show pitting.

Aside from the finish imperfections, the bike is in good condition, without large dents, scratches, etc. It has never been crashed (seriously).

Any help would be appreciated.
