For something like that, you might have some luck with places like copart
Just as a for-instance:

Pack some patience; they move a lot of cars, you might have to sign up to get alerts.
Some auction houses do charity donation sales, same thing, sign up and keep checking.

Yes foggy thx for that suggestion. two years ago I was trolling for a replacement engine for this car there were TONS of them around the blown head gaskets so I thought this search would be easy, not so. I thought it must be a big weakness in the Volvos. That has changed totally, no more of those at all. Zero. Its weird.

Somehow copart has taken the whole crummy car scene over . Copart makes a salvage car cost $3 to $4 hundred more .... who on earth wants to pay copart. Not me. Even craigslist seems useless for this now.

I was in DC for the ciceddas 34 yrs ago ... silver spring ... near foggybottom right??
