Yah, I did some local searching the other day. I just wanted to see what was out there that could be had for a good deal. Kind of like you are thinking. At least drivable and repairable w/o a ton of body work. The cheapest I could find was $17k! There were a few that needed rust repair or w/o major components for a lot less. Fine. But I was in the "swap parts" kind of mind instead of the restoration mindset...

Kind of stinks. I bought my car for $4k back in 1983. And that was at the high end! It did drive, had a 427 in it, NO dents, maybe one door ding, shotty paint in a few spots, a hood scoop (was OK to have one back then), and was complete. I basically swapped out the tunnel ram and 4:56s and drove it to school daily! lol

Still needs paint... :-P
