Was it wrecked really bad in the front end? How come it needs an engine and front end parts as well? Normally a small wreck wouldn't be require needing a new engine.

The car did not sustain that much damage to the front and from what I can tell. I don’t know why the engine is locked up, but it is from at least what my mechanic is telling me.We put a breaker bar on the crank, and the engine is very difficult to turn if it will at all. Don’t know what caused that.

Very Interesting. I don't think a motor would lock up from a minor front end accident. At most, the engine would overheat and blow a head gasket if there was damage to the front radiator. My advice would be to remove the drive belt and try to turn the engine over, In case any of the pulleys or anything got damaged from the accident. If any of the pulleys, alternator or compressor got damaged it could make it feel like it's locked up. I would try to turn it over with the drive belt removed Just to make sure the engine is in fact locked up.

Can't think of any other reason the motor would be locked up except that with the earlier models 2014-2016, many of them had issues with failed oil pumps that could cause the crankshaft to lockup.
Not sure if there's any salvage yards in Dallas, TX that would have parts for you but I'm in Houston and I know
Lone Star Imports Used Auto Parts has quite a few Ghiblis for parts. If your engine is blown, I would try to get an engine from 2017+ as they seem to have less issues compared to earlier model ghiblis.
