I have a 65 coupe that I bought from a fellow for a parts car a few years back and have found it to be of no use to me anymore... The problem is the car was wrecked in 72 and sat inside most of its life. The main reason for keeping it would be the completely rust free floor, cowl, and front frames. The rest is not worth anything. The question... Should I sell it to the junk man for 200.00 bucks or keep it for the "someday" next resto and look at the eye sore for a few more years?

Neither.

Wait it out and sell it for $200 (or more) to someone who might bring it back to life.

Sorry there is not life left in this one... DOA. It was hit hard rear then pushed into next car in front. rear frame rails kinked down hard and front support pushed back. Perfect front rails cowl and floor though.

If the "junk man" offered you $200 for it, then I'd be extremely suspicious of him. He'll never get $200 in scrap from it. Post an ad and sell it as a parts car.
