What can you get for $2500?

I have (2) Demon's I am building now.... basically I'm looking for something to just tool around in as a driver while my other (2) cars are being finished.... So yes I am quite aware of what cars are costing to get where you want them....

But I am still looking for a basic plan jane slant 6 or 318 that is running and driving that I can tool around in over the summer.... Im kicking myself for parting out my 318 4 door dart 2 years ago, but it did pay for a lot of new AMD sheet metal, LOL....

Stroker Scamp.... I have a trailer and some free weekends so for the right ride in my price range I'd go as far as 6-8hrs from Pittsburgh, PA... so that does carry a large range, closer would be better... but Im open to see whats out there.
