...I can’t find one to replace it...
Are you kidding? There are no shortage of Pagodas for sale. Always some on eBay; Bring-A-Trailer; Hemmings, The Star, and even Craigslist. Prices are generally higher than lower; the days of a cheap Pagoda are long past. And be aware of the old adage, "there is nothing more costly than an inexpensive Mercedes-Benz"
If you sold your car 20 years ago, the reality today is that the parts prices have totally skyrocketed. The lower priced the car is the more it will need, and it will be dollars better spent on a car that already has the missing parts or doesn't need the work. In other words, buy the best that you can afford. If you cannot afford a better car, for certain you won't be able to afford the parts prices...
I'm sure that won't dissuade you from looking, so that being said there have been a number of [laughable] "restoration candidates" that show up now and then, usually from some kind of dealer. One of those would take a boatload of cash, and an enormous effort to get a car worth a lot less than the investment...just keep your eyes and ears open here, someone always finds them and they get "torn apart" quite quickly; you'll see.
