Most of the project cars I would have suggested were mentioned in your thread on PT.com.
It really all depends on what "cheap" means to you and what you are willing to sacrifice as far as affordability, availability (cars and parts) and difficulty of modifications.
Sure, you could go with any of the obscure cars that were mentioned, it's always cool to see them given some attention. Make sure you find one with all the trim and an excellent body though, it's often tough to locate replacements, especially for a beginner.
Anyway, here's my list of favorites for the criteria I listed above:
74-up Fbodies
Fox body Mustangs/Capri
All GM G-body cars (there's tons in great shape still)
All GM X-body cars (Nova, Apollo, Ventura, Omega)(68-72 Novas are starting to climb though)
Low trim level 64-72 Buick/Olds/Pontiac A-bodies
70-72 Monte Carlos and GP (69 and up)
60s and up Mopar A bodies (parts may be harder to find)
73 and up Elcaminos
2WD trucks/suvs (small or fullsized) from GM or Ford
