Auto Transmission is Dead. What Should I Do Now? Fix or Sell? 200

My son was driving home tonight and the car lost propulsion. The auto tranny stopped working. We checked the tranny fluid and it is full. It will go into park, but none of the other gears work. If we shut the car off, we can then put it in drive or reverse and it will barely move for about 2 or 3 seconds. Then nothing.

Within the past year it has had the following:
1. New blower fan.
2. B cam
3. IPD lowering springs
4. New struts
5. New tires

It has a small rust hole on the driver's side rocker and is developing rust on the passenger side fender.
Besides that it normally runs fine and looks ok for an old car.

So is it worth getting the tranny fixed or having a used one installed?
Or should I cut my losses and part it out or sell it whole?

I can not swap a tranny so would need to have it towed to a shop.

Thanks for everyone's opinions and advice.

Tom
