There are auctions regularly for vehicles at the Kansas City impound lot.

I bought a '02 Civic there a couple of years ago, and had to rent a car dolly to take it home. Auctions are online. You register before the auction. There are some nice deals to be had, including motorcycles. Lots of wrecks and you have no idea what you'll find when you get to work on them. They let you inspect the vehicles before the auction. Some are locked up, but some are open and you can open the hood, take a look.
The ones to get are the ones taken "at arrest", because they were running when impounded!
