Dan, I know it’s frustrating but try to cowboy up a little and don’t be so negative. I feel your pain on the medical problems btw, the last several years I’ve been having surgery more often than my car gets an oil change…. so I get it. I’m glad you’re getting a lot of help here.
A year ago I bought a reasonably solid, running 1967 Dart GT 318/auto for $5k to use as my daily driver on offer up. I had been looking for a year. It needs a lot work to be pretty, but was the best I could do. I chuckled when you mentioned people being rich… I wish I had your budget!
Offer up, Craigslist, and Facebook marketplace are good sources when searching. Also, joining Mopar/ A-body groups on Facebook is a good way to hear about cars for sale. Keep hunting and don’t give up!
