Bit of an odd request... Im wanting to build a store fixture that is actually half of a car. Just the rear portion, basically from the B pillar back. But Im wanting everything to be intact more or less, such as the seats, windows, trunk, lights etc. Pick n pull has cars that are ravaged. Any ideas on where I could start looking for something like this? Maybe a car that was in a head on collision and written off? Do those cars go to an auction for parts?

My brother hauls scrap all the time, what kind of car you looking for? i can see what he has, he owns an acreage and has a ton of stuff that has a complete rear end but not working for whatever reason.

That would be great! midsize to full size, with no rust on the back half. dont need anything from the front half. Also, seats must be in good condition.

where is half? sedan at the b pillar? most scrap stuff is older so the no rust is likely gonna be an issue.

Blown engine BMW/Mercedes might fit the part. There was a GL350 down here a few weeks ago with a blown tcase for a grand... Older luxury cars with big mechanical issues are a dime a dozen

62 Pontiac at Barlow PnP with an amazingly straight body and very little rust. Interior is bad though.

It’s a fixture to showcase car seat demos so I’m needing newer than 2002.
