[i only had roughly $500.00 in it] the guy i sold it to was happier than a pig in $hit with that truck ! however, that was over 25 years ago or longer..........not sure what that would be in today's money.

Back in the late '70s, a buddy had a Chevy LUV with a 350/350 swap - pretty much a rocket on the street. And an LA will fit in a D-50 - another good power/weight ratio. I can't imagine any of those being only $5,000 unless they're rough or it's a fire sale.

Hardly anyone uses craigslist anymore, but it's always been easier to search than facebook. I don't have a facebook account either, so when doing a search I can only view a few until it wants me to log in.

Would be around his range and be fun. No but thank you. He is set on a two door sedan/hardtop. Facts are stubborn things.

I guess. The consensus here seems to be he's not going to get what he wants for $5k I'm going to try and point him toward a slanty Dart Swinger and tell him drive the heck out of it until he can afford a small block swap. I'll ask him about S-10's. He said he really doesn't want a truck (I mean he'd love one but since he can only buy one thing now he'd rather it be a two door sedan) but maybe the S-10's will appeal to him.
