What happened to the reasonably priced project car?

They are still out there you have to look, every day, and have cash when the right deal comes up.
I bought my orange Duster for $800 running and driving, but pretty much wore out, over the course of 10 years replaced about everything but kept it a driver most of the time.
Bought several other mopars since then, two this year really reasonable, you have to have the cash, when a deal shows up.
