I'd try a want ad on Craigslist, rather than looking at junkyards. Most junkyard cars are there because they were crashed, and the junkyard owners want to make a profit.

So instead, once you have an idea of what you want for a body, put in something like "Wanted: such-and-such model, with sound body, blown engine." You can probably pick up something like that cheaper from the owner.

You can also take some time to do the searching, while getting batteries & electrical parts together.
