I know it is kind of stretching it. But I am trying to stay around 12k or less strictly because I do no want a complete car. I want a project. In the end I wand hardly anything stock. So there is no point buying something complete and having to sell off parts I replace.
I have located a few 69s, rust free, metal work done, one even had a 502 for a decent price. People always just seem to find them before me since their sold by the time I call. Sure doesn't help that I deploy every 6 months. I'm sure one will come around eventually that I HAVE to have and is still available.
