Unless you have a place to store it for several yrs, parting it out will be a slow, drawn out process. Plus you'll need some heavy equipment like a lift to get the engine & trans out and access to a fork lift to get those heavy items to a shipper. There's a lot to parting out a car. Maybe you have all of these things at your disposal, but if not, you'll need them. And you'll be constantly making trips to your local shipper to send small to large items.
You can probably expect another $1K in surprises if you want to get it running and flip it, but even with a $5K investment, you should be able to make some $$$ on it. Plus it will be gone in a much quicker time frame than parting it out.
Keep in mind this advice is coming from a hobbyist Wheeler Dealer, so obviously I'd lean towards fixing & flipping. I just bought an 87 928 S4 that doesn't run and the owner sold as a fixer or parts car. When I told him I'd try to get it running and then sell it on, he was pulling for me to buy it as it was too nice to part out.
