300ZX… What to do with it?

I have a 1990 300ZX 2+2 that I need to sell, but the State of California won’t let me do it! They won’t even let me give it away! It must pass SMOG first.

The car, in its current condition, will not pass SMOG. What should I do?
Valve seals leaking on exhaust manifold causing smoke and the instant FAIL
Has a High Idle also.

Option 1. Pay “up the rear” to get it fixed, then sell it for a possible/probable loss.
Option 2. Sell it out of State, how do I do this? Is it possible?
Option 3. Sell it to a auto Wrecker/Dismantler for pennies… at least I won’t have to pay insurance on it.
Option 4. Any other options available to me?
