$8,500 is gonna be a tough find for a NON POS car. you may have to step up your price a little for better quality.

I've seen several of what I consider to be project cars with good potential in the 5000-8500 range.

In Covington, just north of New Orleans, good ride from you but to get a good deal, you are going to have to travel perhaps.

http://neworleans.craigslist.org/cto/4760555255.html

For the money you are talking, body work and paint will be needed but all is doable. But this forum is your friend.

Worth a call, key is good frame with minor lets say "managable" rust (is there such a thing, LOL's!). IMHO, stay away from "stored outside". If the frame is not bent, this might be a good project if you do the work yourself. If you got this one for 5 or 6, you could put 10 in it and hopefully be close to break even maybe.

Hope this helps and good luck with search. Half the fun is looking I say

1968 Corvette Stingray: 10,000 OBO - $10000 (Vance)
I have a 1968 Corvette Stingray project car it cranks up and runs but needs work. She's an older gal but has an all fiberglass body so she didn't lose her good looks over the years, just needs her make up painted up and a few scares needs to be medicated but she's still sexy. She's the loud one with the split bumper, pop out back glass and T-tops that hauls *** with a independent rear end. Has all original glass and transmission but the motor is not original. Good rubber all the way around but my baby she doesn't have an interior but she is solid. If your interested please give me a call after 5 pm or text before 5 pm and ask for Shane or Arron my number is 1(803) 614-2678. If you can't get an answer on this number call 803 308 7752

Needs brakes, gas tank, clutch, interior, little bit of body work and pop-up heads lights. Mechanically motor is good with some new parts but the carburetor needs adjusting and cleaning. Motor is a built 350 with the original 4 speed Hurst transmission. Can drive it just can't stop it! Clear title in hand! 1803 614-2678 or 803 308 7752. Open to trades : ex: land with Well and Septic. Other running cars, ready to go food truck and of course cash is king.
