What happened to the reasonably priced project car?

I'm just going to fix up what I have and sell the rest.
I will not pay 5 grand for a wrecked, rusted, shell of a '69 Coronet or Road Runner, and then spend 20 grand to make it barely road worthy without paint or anything fancy and countless hours to do so, even if it's ultimately what I really am looking for..........
Besides, I'm getting too old to do major rustorations.
