I wouldn't push the Panic Button just yet. If you don't have to have it done in time for the St. Patrick's day parade and got some time to work with, I'd keep looking.
That one guy you found that has some for $1100. That is still his asking price. He (it sounds like) won't take a penny less. But, that doesn't exactly mean he'll get that. Hard to say how long he'll be sitting on top of them before he gets em sold. Or sitten on top of them already, for that matter. At that price.
Local junk yard here, over the years, set older more complete stuff off
to the side. Exceptionally nice and complete (restorable), they wouldn't strip out. Over the last 10 to 15 years, they have kind of phased themselves out of the parts buisness, and not parting out these newer vehicles. Got more into just smashing vehicles as they come in, and selling iron. Still got thier old bone yard. Hard to say what all is sitting in there. Same people run it. Doubtful they smashed the stuff they once set aside. Not the type that would do that.
Another place sold out last fall. Had tons of parts from 50's/60's. Mostly just individual parts. Very few complete, or picked over vehicles. The place evidently was the type to dis-assemble. Keep the good, scrap the rest. Anyways, problem was, nothing was really marked. Kind of, just auctioned the parts that way (seller deceased). The stuff that was visually recognizable (make, model, and year), brought good money. The stuff that you couldn't, not so much. Kind of one of those deals where, a 68 such and such car is easily recognizable. But take the hood off, and set it off by itself someplace, and then try to recognize that.
I'd keep looking.
