If I were to guess, I'd say it was something like this '53 Chevy:

Looks like a 1953 Chevy. I think the turn signal lens is salvageable. One less thing to worry about when you start your restoration!!

Its the wrong color or I would take it.

List it on Craigslist and then be ready for a zillion "Does it run?" or "Will you take payments?"

It would make a nice rat rod. The new owner wouldn't have to work on the "patina".

The grill and bumper are worth something even in that condition, I would salvage it.

I agree with that. I did some checking and most front clips sold for restoration don't have the bumper and grill included.
