I’m interested in trying to find a vehicle like mine, but wrecked with a good engine and transmission and any other parts I can salvage to keep mine alive for a few more years . I would like to know in general how to search and bid on wrecked vehicles that have been totaled by insurance companies and are now up for bid. This would be kind of like what a wrecking yard must do to purchase vehicles for parts resale, or a used car dealer that would in turn repair the vehicle and resell with salvage title. Any leads on where to start would be appreciated

Ask your insurance agent. He should be able to tell you what they do with the totaled cars. A lot of the time they have salvage yards take them or auction them off at a local auction. Good luck and hope you find one.
you will need a dismantlers or a dealers licence to purchase these cars, sorry
Do what I do, advertise through the local paper for model suitable for wrecking.
I usually get more answers than I need, last time I bought 3 cars, wrecked 2, and rebuilt 2, my son and I drove the rebuilt ones around for 3 years.
