Default '57 sunroof coupe - what to do???

I have a 1957 sunroof coupe (sunroof is a clip from another '57) in need of a total restoration, though the body is pretty sound. I have a Skirmants engine for it as well. I don't have the time or money to do it now. I am aware of the cost/benefit analysis, but I am struggling with whether I should sell it or hold it for another 15 years. (It is garaged and I don't need the space.)

I would like to hear thoughts or comments from others. Can I even sell it for enough to justify getting rid of it? My "other" car is a very drivable '65 cab, so my 356 fix is satisfied.

Thanks for your input.

Steve

you must know that an A SR Coupe is one of the most desired closed 356s of all
in 15 yrs a nice driver (or better) will cost you quite a bit
so will an equivalent example ready to restore (& may be even harder to find)
guess what my advice is...

{hint: I've owned my '59 since '84, it has been "in reSTORation" since about '88}
