Actually, we're probably in second place, to the Japanese, but for different reasons. The Japanese have very strict maintenance requirements, including bodywork, so there are virtually no "beaters" there . . . and as a result, Japan's junkyards overflow with cars that their owners can't afford to cosmetically repair or maintain. Those cut in half cars make their way thru the supply chain and end up around Asia, where Nissan and Toyota turbocharged engines are ending up in some interesting cars, like Mercedes and front engined Porsches.
