Can I re-use content from my penalized site?

Hi. My site had got a manual actions penalty for thin content last year and since I am unable to get rid of the penalty, (cleaned spam backlinks + cleaned the content but no bueno!) I have decided to shut down the site and start a new site from scratch without any redirects from the old site.

When I had posted the site here, I got told that my content and design is quite good but my site had tens of thousands of spam backlinks. Despite all efforts to disavow those links, I couldn't shake off the penalty and feel its better to start afresh.

While a lot of outsourced content on the old site was bad, a lot of content on it written by myself is quite good (~100 posts) and I would like to re-use it. In addition to this, there is about 50,000 words of fresh content that I will be posting first on the new site.

So I wanted to know if I can re-use the old content on the new site or is that just setting myself up for another penalty? Will Google flag me for using content from my previously penalized site?
