Duster in Oregon

I am contemplating getting back into A bodies. Looking to do a street / strip car on a reasonable budget. Happy to buy an unfinished project. Preferably one that already is BBP and V8. Even a retired race car would be looked at.

Budget is around 3k, can ad more if I must, but I would rather not.

I'd really like to stay in the Bend/Eugene/Medford area but can branch out a bit.
