I see them every now & then in the classified in the local newspaper...That's a start. If you were closer to me I'd let you borrow mine.

When a car is totalled, the radiator support can be cut straight down/away, and the engine can be lowered down and pulled forward
on a floor jack.
---------------------
Totalled doesn't always mean unfixable. It means the insurance company
is unwilling to pay to get it fixed vs. paying you off for the car.

Depending on where/how it got hit, some cars can have another
front end/inner sheet metal re-aligned and welded in place, where everything lines up.................but it sometimes it cannot be done as cheaply as paying you off for the car.-Bob

only problem is the front and back are both smashed in... so the radiator is pinched in between metal and the mani... I've already parted out the interior and some of the external pieces. I sold the engine but i just have to get it out now...
