I'm not sure if it's only for wrecking yards to sell their wrecked cars on, or if anyone can. But you could try copart.com

 

Rod, you're bearing the brunt of your circumstances and on the wrong side of luck and geography.
A 2008 vehicle in California versus the same year and model in New England age completely differently.
Without looking at it on a lift (which I did for two plus decades back in Mass) hard to say with complete authority, but sadly it's time to let it go.
Too many hidden rust fleas has been my experience. I know they build them better than they did back in the day, but Neil Young sings it. Rusts never sleeps.
Out here I can go to pick and pull and remove parts from 25+ year cars without rust penetrating spray. In NE it would take heat and many applications of WD40.
She's gone. You've got the insurance for a reason take the $ and run?!....
How you recycle, re-purpose and dispose depends on the time space and patience you have. The prudent salvage yard knows whats good and what to scrap.
You've got pictures of the good times and have to refer t those memories in my humble opinion.

 

Woody, Well said. It is funny how emotional I feel about this machine which served me so well for 14 of its 18 years. I was planning to document what I liked about with a video but never got around to it. A neighbor had an orange Plymouth Road Runner when I was a teenager and I think that machine altered my brain cells pushed to the back of the skull. I didn't make the connection until I met a guy from my town who remembered me driving around in an "orange car" which was the road runner. My HHR is orange also. A well it was nice while it lasted.
