I have been looking for over a year for a mopar. The Web sites I visit are; E-bay, Craigslist, AutoTrader, Cars.Com. One piece of advice I can give is when you see a car online, it is a totally diferent car in person. You probably should bring someone with you, just to keep you in perspective.For 6 K, I think you'll get something that needs a whole lot of work. For that price you can find something that has a motor and trans, but needs things like a gas tank, brakes, interior pieces,(maybe even e whole interior), and very likely all four quarters re-done. I have visited body shops to get estimates on work that would need to be done on some of the cars that I have looked at. Before you spend your 6 thousand, its a good idea to know how much more you'll need to get the thing into at least driver condition.

Good advice chrisd, I have a car for sale in that range, it runs good and drives fine. But needs lots of work cosmetically, they all will.

The best "deals" are on A bodies.... 68-70 RR's are gonna cost a ton.
