This should keep you busy for a few hours! What's the most interesting sub-Challenge priced car you can find on your local CL? The trick is to use $100-$2000 and search under cars only. Using keywords such as "turbo" and "wagon" will net the weird an wonderful, but there are even better gems to be had.

Ok, I'll play...
A Pinto and a Capri, two for one deal.
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/900055561.html
Or a V6 Pinto? Might be a good candidate for an Explorer 4.0 swap just to be a little different from the predictable V8 swap.

I hate all of you.
the only things within an hours drive of me that is challange priced is a ford temp with an automatic and some pick up trucks that are too rusted be of any use on the farms.
The only thing even remotely interesting within 10 miles of me was a 1976 Cadillac Seville. That one was interesting only because I knew a guy who took 2 wrecked ones and made 1, making it a 2 door convertible in the process. He did a really good job, too. There was someone making them at the time as well, they looked like this one.

only thing that really interests me is is a VW Baja project, 2 cars and a load of parts $500...I just might have to pick that one up.
There are a couple other bugs, an rx7 and a 300zx that would make for ok projects. There is also a 66 barracuda but its actually from cali so I'm not counting it.
