Just go to a local bookstore and thumb thorough the different "Blue Books" there (NADA and Kelley are the benchmarks, I believe)...

I know nothing...
It's in excellent condition, no rust at all and only has about 29,000 miles on it. Everything original, no restoration work has been done.

Well when all else fails, contact your insurance company, or any others that will be willing to speak to you, and find out how much they would insure a vehicle just like yours for. They might tell you something like, "we don't care what work you have put into it, as far as we are concerned it's worth $2K" or they might tell you that whatever the purchase price is plus receipts, or something like that.
I don't know if collector car insurance companies insure American iron, but they might, you could check with one of those. They are very very understanding when it comes to such things. I have had lots of luck with J.C. Taylor insuring a European car I own, I just declared a value and they had no problem with that. In the past I had a 68 Chevelle insured by State Farm and they took my word for it (I even offered to fax the bill of sale and receipts from restoration; they said not to worry about it). Hagerty has a good reputation among an owners' club I used to belong to as well.
At the worst you would get a polite "no," at the best a very helpful person who could give you a range of values that their customers have similar vehicles insured for.
