Things like wheels/tires, battery, spare tire might be worth pulling before selling the remains.

She is three long days' drive away from here, and I don't know that I would be up to doing that kind of parts swapping anyway.
I just hate to see her sell it to a salvage yard for $500 when the engine and drive train is probably worth what - $5K+++ ???
