Thats about my ball park. But I am looking at cars from $1200 all the way up to $12K. I am just a picky and cheap SOB + at 10 K I will want exactly what I am looking for w little or no give. @ three weeks in to the hunt I have all the time in the world and am in no hurry. Year, two or when the economy finally collapes completely I'll find the right car. I practically live on Ebay,RJ,Car soup and CL and check all of them three times a day(retired and in a MN winter). From past experiance I'll most likely find the car at the swaps this summer or on CL. In the meantime the amount I can spend will keep growing as I continue to sell off all of my left over brand X restoration,HP and racing parts.
