We have a 1966 Rambler station wagon that we are going to swap a HEMI into and we are trying to find a wrecked charger with a full drivetrain. Anyone have any leads for cheap?

Keep an eye out for government auctions, they were fleet vehicles for a lot of agencies.

You may be able to score a later model police wreck also if you look. Not sure what the market is on pullout Hemis compared to the LS market where people know how popular they are and tend to price accordingly.

Cool sounding project, I'd be interested to see it happen.

Best bet is to get set up with Copart.com. There are Copart locations all over the US. That's were a large portion of the totalled vehicles go to be sold off to dismantlets and wrecking yards. Although, Coparts does sell to the public too unlike IAA and TRA. Get your bidding account set up first. It does require a deposit of fees and such. Or find you have a body shop buddy or something that already has an account.

Here's an example. Watch how cheap this 4x4 Suburban goes for in NV. Fak, I wish it were local I'd be bidding on it. This is one a donated vehicle.

I've already checked out Govdeals.com but that's the only government website I've checked out. There are plenty of auction websites and stuff. Need near Alabama

Copart is a great suggestion, there's one in my town, they handle all the insurance totals and everything. For donors it's a great place to start.
