You'd also have to sort out the end-game for the parted-out carcass before you start selling off pieces. Will you have to pay someone to haul it?

You might ask around for a bid to get the stringers repaired. Since you've started, you might get a reasonable price. You seem pretty DIY. Copycat Upholstery is in Florida. If you pull the old skins, they can make you new ones. Maybe that saves some cash too. Then again, you may be emotionally done with a restoration project.
Yeah it would have to be a labor of love to fix it as the cost to have the stringers redone would be at least $4-5K (guessing based on DIYers here saying $2K in materials alone) and interior would be over a grand. I have a buddy who paints cars and could repaint the hull on the cheap, but I'd end up with $6-8K into it and it'd be worth $6-8K when done (when is a big question mark!). I have a herniated disk in my neck that is hitting my spinal cord so getting on hands and knees sanding and getting under things it not really a good idea. Still I'd rather it go to someone who wants to fix it but realize it may be better for parts to fix another one.

I'd rather sell it complete but understand our county dump will accept the hull with everything stripped off if I do end up parting it. I'll see about getting some pics posted in classifieds in case anyone wants to take a look.
