Can't believe I am saying this, but I have seen a lot worse.

For those guys in the know, tell me, what parts could be salvaged from this car that would be worth $13K plus shipping?

If it has a title it would be useful to a car thief, maybe even cheap.

The value is in the chassis, if you wanted to build an outlaw, or a Spoodster, you would have a real 356 chassis with a VIN. I started with a nightmare when I built mine, and replaced almost all the outer metal.

Obviously this car was shoved off a rim of the Grand Canyon. Must have been an expensive helicopter ride back out...

There's one front brake drum and the steering wheel looks basically sound. That's maybe $2k...
