I'd grab it for the frame — if it FITS!!
I like the lugs, and my info says the tubing was comparable with other double-butted brands used in sports / racing. It's a project waiting. Strip it down completely and start a build. Reuse anything that equals good quality and worth the frame it's going on. That may leave you not very much that hangs of the frame now. My little bit, but honestly, the frame would tempt me a lot!
Hmmm ... you might string it up and see if it's straight, and if not, assess if it can be corrected.
