Hey Vince, welcome to CHR!!! If you're patient and diligent in searching for a project car that someone else has given up on it will save you a bunch of $$$$$. Got someone around home that could actualyy do a see-feel-touch on potential candidate cars????

A search on eBay for project cars is another place to look, also a lot of guys having been coming up with some killer deals on Craigslist...just check for the area you have a trusted accomplice (er, friend) who could check the car out. Be wary though, there are scammers all over the net trying to relieve you of your $$$$$! I wouldn't buy anything until someone trusted can put their eyeballs on it!
