You have several options. One is to find another engine for the car and replace it. Another option is part the car out, but that takes time and would probably be a hassle. I've never done it, but you can get more for the car that way. The other option is to just sell it "AS IS". Three or four years ago I sold a 94 850 Turbo with a blown engine for $850 to the independent Volvo repair shop that I had it towed to.
