I doubt Carvana buys cars that need an engine. I'd say FB or Craigslist. It needs to be shipped, so a local buyer might be best like you will get on Craigslist. I'd be candid about it needing an engine and not just say it has a drivetrain malfunction. I would not expect to get a lot for it. You'd get more if it had a functioning used engine, but that would be a hassle. I'd clean it up and photograph it good so it looks salvageable, but I'd probably have a "make offer" price - or maybe "$3,500 or offer." If the car is clean and desirable otherwise, it will sell. If it has great options, like the B&O stereo, it will be easier probably. Somebody will put a used engine in it themselves probably.
