It's not just PAP.  This is pretty much how it is with most bone yards.

It's far more lucrative to part out a totaled car and sell its parts
than to sell the car whole.  Just selling the engine alone will usually
fetch more money than the whole car.  Bone yards are rarely into
"restoring" a car, because even if they are able to get a car back
into reasonable shape, it has to carry a salvage title which most
buyers are not interested in.
