A stunning find. Congratulations.
I had a similar find a couple of months ago: A 1980's era Nishiki Gran
Tour 15 bicycle fitted for competition, worth about $1,200 for just $15 in a
thrift store. After new tyres, tubes, brake pads, and a thorough tuneup it
runs just fine. Someone had put a lot of money into it and then just tossed it
away.
