i need to be overhauled! pics of 1958 ranchero

i know i double posted this in the AZ forum but i need help finding where to decode the VIN and finding the value of the car...please dont lock or move mods!!

here is my granpas old 58 ranchero. my uncle has just left it sitting at my moms house for years. i want it, but hes not giving it up so im going to offer him some money. i dont think my uncle is going to do anything with it. he knows nothing about cars, has 3 DUIs and needs to give it to me!!!!!!

i dont think it has been started in 4 years, i doubt anything was drained or added to the gas to store it(this is going to cause me a lot of work), it has a flat tire and some of the weather stripping is shot. all the chrome is there but some trim on the rear will need to be replaced along with one of the taillight bullets........what do you guys think its worth? also does anybody know where i can get the info to decode the VIN?

on with the pics

And I agree that car is clean. It is probably worth at least $5,000 in that condition.
