i have to tell you that over the last two months, i have found at least 3 cars that i seriously considered buying as the price versus condition and parts/overall value of the car was a VERY good combination. i ran across a "decent" red 69 fastback in an police/towing impound lot in New Jersey that they only wanted $2000 for. no information about the mechanics but the body/glass was all there and in good condition. i could have got a 69 fastback with a 440/auto for $4500; i passed on a convertible that was all there but needed a lot of work that i could have got for $2500. i'm on Facebook marketplace every day looking for these cars. i start by looking within 500 miles of Pittsburgh. then i made a list of all the NASCAR tracks all over the country and then search 500 miles from the biggest city close to each of these tracks. i also just look at major cities out west. oddly, Oregon and Wisconsin seem to have been big Plymouth buyers' states. you just have to look. however, sometimes, like the car i just bought, somebody just calls and says "i saw a Barracuda sitting in front of a house."
