Fuji 1986 Palisades Larger Mixte

My original plan for this bike was to strip it down for parts. Now that I have it home, I'm not so sure. It's actually pretty nice! Brakes well, shifts well. Definitely a 1986 since that was the only year for a Palisades mixte. The single bad patch on the frame is shown. Needs some polishing, lubrication, tires and bar wraps, along with a new saddle.

I have little clue on the value of mixtes. With a 22" frame it's too big for my wife. Any idea on worth once its road ready?

As - is maybe a $75 bike. But, it would be worth over $250 as a city bike with refurbished bearings, new chain, new tires, upright handlebars and, brake levers & cables. Put a rack on it maybe $275.
