Selling my ‘87 G50 3.2 sunroof Coupe

Soliciting ideas and thoughts only at first.
I want to sell/trade my car. I won’t part it.
What is the best way to send a “kit car” to a new home?
Interested in a TR-6, Z-car, VW Thing, Classic Mini or maybe a ?

Got my car in 2015 w/113k miles (no title in Maine) now has 126k. Doesn’t leak oil.
In ‘17 or ‘18 we did a few very spirited laps at a Make a Wish event at a track in Tamworth, NH. The car was simply amazing.
Later I dropped the eng/trans to replace the shift coupling, adjust the valves, install Boxster brakes, new booster and MC, and do a general look see. I ended up replacing the clutch and a host of other parts.
When I pulled the valve covers I found 3 broken cylinder studs and only one nut. My guess is the PO found the issue and sold it to the (another story) guy in Miami I bought it from.
In 4/2019 I hit something in the road, lost the left rear tire and did a light rollover in the snow. No glass broke.
Found a local guy here in Maine who was a Porsche body guy in Rhode Island and moved up. Long story short, the man unfortunately passed away before my car was done.
When I got the car back some body work had been done. Aside from paint, the car needs the roof skin repaired or replaced (I have a good roof), drivers rear quarter repair finished. The car only has one small rust spot on the drivers door sill. It’s rusty, not rotted. The LF tire looks crooked and I have spare struts.
The car starts right up with some smoke after sitting. Subsequent starts are smoke free.
Right now the car is apart, interior stripped, heater box out to survey dash wiring,
The car yard drives fine, brakes, clutch, steering OK.
Lots of additional parts.
