It would yield some parts. The body is ruined, and probably the frame as well, but the hood and deck lid may be salvageable, and there are some items like convertible top linkage pieces and trim items that are restorable. The windshield frame and trim looks good. The often broken horn ring and some dash and body trim appears to be OK. The frame might be useful as a guide for how the convertible frame was braced, and might allow upgrading a standard frame for use under a convertible. The engine is pretty far gone, but it might have a good cam and crankshaft/rods and brackets and bolts and pulleys and intake. The transmission and rear axle may be repairable. The rear mount spare parts and rear bumper might be worth repairing. It's a rare bird, with some very scarce parts. It might have enough model specific parts to build a rough hardtop body into a convertible.
