What to do with my 740 16v wagon? 700

I have to part with my baby which has not run for about a year due to my own neglect and finances. I just dont know what to do with her. In my dreams i would store it and fix her up someday, but I'm no mechanic and I'm pretty sure that is unrealistic. I guess what I am looking for is opinions on what to do with it and or some sort of value. The main problem began about a year ago with a leaky radiator. I believe that led to it overheating. It ran but poorly with lots of white smoke. Now I cannot even get it to start because of what I believe to be an ignition issue. It seems like there is no contact when the key is turned, which was a rare issue I had when it was my daily driver. Other than that the body is in good condition, probobly because it spent it's first ten or so years in Florida. Again I am not even close to being a car mechanic so I hope I at least gave you an idea of whats up. Do I part it out or do I look for that guy who really wants this car. I do believe its easily restorable, just no time, money, and proper skills.

Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated!
