Icon9 Getting rid of my 94 ford ranger xlt 4.0 v6!

Here is my baby this is a picture of her when I went to go buy her from (Mark) the random craigslist guy that almost got me killed because he didn't inform me that she was a lemon and the mass amount of issues with her like the Leaf Springs that were rusted out and snapped on me while driving almost killing me lucky enough I wasn't going fast or was on an highway, I was sure to text (Mr. Mark) after the lemon he sold me almost took my life.
When I was young I had a bad experience with a car so I decided I didn't want to drive so I would purposely fail the written drivers test and I would tell my family "Sorry I tried my best" after getting injured in the Army and getting out I decided to put away my state ID and finally go for my drivers license so I could buy and drive a little 50cc Moped from work and back that became hard to do during the winter so I decided to finally put my big boy pants on and get a real vehicle and after searching for a couple days I found this 94 ranger and had my heart set on it I went out their with 3000$ cash my grandma drove it since I didn't know how to use a Stick Shift and man was this truck beautiful shiny sounded really good and was in perfect shape "So I thought" at this time I had no clue anything about vehicles so I bought her for 2700$ cash and of course I told (Mr. Mark) that this would be my first vehicle and he proceeded to say oh yeah I drive it an hour to work everyday all the miles are highway miles and this will be a perfect starter vehicle for you not knowing that 3 months of having it I would almost die. I decided instead of junking it I wanted to learn everything about vehicles so I spent a year changing parts and learning she ran very well after many issues I got it all figured out with help from This Forum Ron-D was the first person to help me figure my issues out with this truck back in 2019 you specifically have helped me a ton with learning.
THE DOWNFALL OF MY TRUCK - After watching a cool video of people dropping the clutch and burning tires I thought it would be a good idea to do this at work with the original 25 year old clutch and after roughing it home I drove it the next day to go to the store about 1.5 miles down the road from my house this is when the truck shitted out and stopped working 70$ to get it towed and I let it sit in the road for almost a year an half outside the house before I was told it needed to go, I said well ima fix it so we got the ford f150 and pulled the girl into the driveway and it say for a whole winter until a month ago when I decided to put more money and time into it. I have id say 4000$ put back into this truck between New parts, Tools, liquids, and special equipment like a transmission jack. I think its time to get rid of my truck I love it so much it has sat forever because I just can't part with her and I guess it's coming time it can't sit no more. 500$ at the junkyard will do I guess sadly I don't think i could get much more out of it unless I part it out myself which could take a year before selling majority of the new parts.
HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE TRUCK THE DAY I BOUGHT IT (Mark sure put time in to sell me a death trap)

If you put that on craigslist for $1000, it will probably be gone the same day.

Don't junk it, someone will gladly fix it. I agree with the above post, you can get $1000 for it easy.
