To answer the questions: I'm currently located in West Virginia. I'm not planning on driving this vehicle to much. It will primarily be a toy. On nice days, it could also serve as a back-up vehicle. I worked as a mechanic 25 years ago. Repairing older vehicles is rarely a problem. Garage: I'm looking for one to rent at the moment. I have access to an indoor storage / parking spot, but can not use that space as a work shop.

I have a 440 with a transmission and several rear axles. It is a nearly complete drive train. Would like to find some kind of vehicle in which to install these parts.

Budget: It is not set in concrete. I'd like to keep it in the $5,000 range if possible. If necessary, it could be stretched closer to $10,000. Edit: With a budget this small, the car will only be a mediocre driver quality car.

Time: I work, so this will be a week-end / evening deal. If someone is selling the right project car for the right price...that might be the best idea.
