Some serious work on that body. Old style also not my cup of tea but i can definitely appreciate the work into that car.
I'd say $15,000 is about what could be expected with that car, to the right person. Kinda sad considering I'm planning at least $10,000 by the time mine is where I want it to be. that includes pretty much rebuilding from the ground up, though nothing close to the work in this car. It's just the name of the game unfortunately.
I can also say that I'm one of those kids that paid his full way through college. I drive 3 cars and have two motorcycles (bad hobby to get into :-)) and can verify that the work I've had to put into getting where I am has made me a better person for it. My wife has some 70,000 left in school loans as a social worker with a masters, meaning she isn't making much no matter where she goes. I put no responsibilities on parent's to pay their kids way into college or life for that matter, though I do respect the dedication to family.
I would look at this from two perspectives...
1 - How much do you like the car? Is it worth $15,000 to you? Are you looking for a way to get rid of it? then it may well be in your best interest to find a good home. Just plan on a long time till the sale.
2 - Do you still love this car? Most of us might see the style a bit outdated, but it very likely can be your dream car as I would hope with that much money into it. If it's worth that to you, then find another way to help your kid through college. Taxes are taxes and bills are bills. I'm never eager to get rid of anything I've put my time into in order to cover either, there are other ways.
as a bit of insight... You'll never get over selling this car with the work you put into it. You will either regret the day you sold it forever or you will spend the money on another car/project.
