Who are you expecting is going to buy this car? No mechanic will take it on because besides having to buy another car for parts, they will have no idea, (as you also don't), as to what else is missing, broken, or inoperative. You'll get the best price from a salvage yard. This isn't a collector car so they will usually just go by weight. They can't sell a paint job or a cracked bumper, and they won't be able to test the engine or anything else to be able to sell those parts in good faith. They'll basically be buying it for the scrap metal, and around here prices being paid for that are very low right now.
There are people who look for cheap cars but they're after the scrap metal too, so they're going to pay you less than what you can get yourself from a salvage yard. People who are looking for a project car want something to start with that is all there. If they need parts for a project they've already started, they know it will be less expensive to buy just the few parts they need from the salvage yard than to buy your car which includes lots of things they don't need or want to pay for. You would have to make this a better deal for the buyer than going to the salvage yard, and that means selling him the car for much less than what the salvage yard would give you.
If you live anywhere between Ohio and southern Georgia, there is a chain of yards called "Pull-A-Part" that you can do an internet search on. The last time I was at a few of their yards, they were paying up to $600.00, but again, that was by weight. Given your description of the car, I doubt you could do any better than that. Pull-A-Part has some new yards in Texas now. They used to have 23 yards and I've been to 16 of those. They're all very clean and well-organized.
