Original mint radiator cores are getting harder to find but there are certainly a lot of original radiators out there that you can re-core and still use original upper and lower tanks and side straps.
I vote for this as well, You should be able to sell/trade it for a unit that already was re-cored or a unit that needs a re-core.

Check with the restoration shops as they may be interested in a horse deal for your radiator.

You can also be real careful in the removing of the tanks and keep the core intact for future sale.
