Feasibility of assembling car from parts? (midwest.social)

I like a certain unremarkable car from the recent past. As they are repairable currently, can one just buy all of the parts new and put it together?

Are there any parts that aren't sold new?

Have you done this?
Are there any tools to help one get all of the parts?
Any communities?

Thank you.

I had hoped this was rather different from restoring a classic car given the modern target. Turns out it is not.

I am disappointed there is not a low profile group of people digging into it, like some other niches. (Other than classic car enthusiasts, which seem like a great group.)

Anyway, seems restoring a 1960s mustang is the thought project to pursue.

Cheers!
