Why not talk to your local salvage yard? They’ll probably have dozens, maybe hundreds of dead vehicles including some that are marginally drivable sitting around.

Go to your friendly local impound lot and ask when they auction all the heaps off. If local laws prevent you from bidding at them, try the craigslist “auto parts” section-- there’s usually a few good heaps there.

So, why exactly do you want a wrecked car? Some sort of outsider art?

My guess would be that he’s gonna modify the vehicle in someway so he doesn’t need the body to be in the best of shape, especially since he mentioned an Evo.
