What to do with an old car?

I was wondering if people could give me some advice on what to do here,

I have an 89 Civic CX which I've replaced recently, but I still have the car, I'm wondering what I should do with it? Should I just scrap it at the wreckers, or is there a market for a car like this?

-It runs great (motor/tranny wise), and the interior is in great shape..
-the body is rough, rust on a lot of areas, a couple holes in the rockers, and teh arches look kind of rough..
-I recently broke a brake line in teh back (hard line, rusted through), but thats like a $20 fix/20 min..
-other 20 year old issues...

So my question is, is there a market for a car like this? (no idea what to charge) where someone could use the still good parts on it (or drive it I suppose)? or is it just better to call the wreckers?

Thanks,

part it out? ...

personally i'd prolly just wreck it or sell it whole to someone for a few hundred bucks rather than take it all apart...

what colour is the interior , i'd be interested in taking it... any pics? I definitly would not scrap it until you at least tried to part it / sell it whole. Once you have sold allusefull parts there are many yards that wil take it for free and some will even give you $50-100 bucks for it. But i'm definitly interested so let me know.
