What happened to the reasonably priced project car?

Warehouse stored 65 'S' for $800 back in '92. 100% complete and running. Can't buy the tach and sender for $800 now. Branch out beyond Mopar. You can get older imports for a song now. I saw a complete RX-3 for $600 on fecebook. Thats about as early Japanese muscle as you can get if your into rotary power and know what it can do. Yeah, the easy projects are scarce. A few still on here though. Check other maes forums for used Mopars. Lots of brand C and F guys would sell a Mopar cheaper than a Mopar guy, fact.
