I cant even find parts for a 30yr old ford...

even im going to try that car-part.com

wrecked cars are sold at auction so the insurance companies can recoupe some of the cost paid out on the claim. There are many dealers out there that buy these wrecked cars and rebuild then sell them for a good profit. I used to do that for a few years...
