ideas for getting rid of my rx7

i have an 88 rx7 non-turbo and i recently ran into the back of a semi truck. the left front strut assembly needs replaced as well as a new rim and tire and alignment and things like that. basically, it will cost moreto repair it then it is worth. it has about 150, 000 miles on. right now it is in windsor ontario. will i be able to get anything for this car or will i basically just have to sell it to a junk yard for like 50 bucks. if anyone has any ideas let me know.
thanks

You might have to be patient, but I bet someone would buy it as a parts car. You'd get more than $50. If you part it out yourself you could get a decent amount of money from it. This requires more time and effort again.

I am kinda interested in some things how is the condition of the intirior what still works or is it just a pile of sheet metal with the RX-7 logo on it?

We cut a 1G in to 4 pieces with a cutting torch and then left the pieces in various dumpsters around town.

Death of a 1G

1987 rx7 guy,
the interior is in decent shape. pretty much everything still works except the rear windshield wiper and some other minor things such as the original sound system which is pretty weak. it is an old rotary so it has a little bit of a problem with flooding in the cold weather. and the add coolant light and buzzer come on every now and then. but it is a good car and there isn't too much body rust or damage but it's not in perfect condition. i'd be willing to sell it to you for a reasonable price if you wanted to get it towed wherever. just let me know.
