'84 242 Turbo Intercooler. Should I sell it as is, part it out, or fix it up then sell it? 200

HI guys. My 24 year old daughter is moving to Abilene, Texas to study for missionary work and is giving back to me her '84 242 Turbo Intercooler. It runs great. Fast. I replaced the water-cooled turbo with an oil cooled only and it is solid with strong boost and power. Wow. High miles at over 280K. 4 speed with OD of course. Virgo wheels. Nice. Blue paint went through too many car washes before my daughter had it. My daughter wrecked it 3 years ago and I found an exact match and year and color,only in a wagon with a burned out engine. The guy gave the car and I took the front end off wagon and put it on the 242. Only a trained eye can tell by looking under the hood. My question is: Should I part this out, sell as is on eBay, or get it painted and fix it up then sell it? And how much can I expect to get for this car? I have my hands full with other Volvos to keep running. This car has been very dependable. Any guidance would be appreciated.
