Is it possible that all the affordable project cars are now taken?

Sometimes you can score a 4 door 6 cyl car, one that you can drive away for 5 K but I se they are drying up or price is going up now the yare about 7 -8 K in my area anyway. Alot of the oddball makes are 5-7 K Olds, Buick, Pontiac , Ford etc... anything bog boat gas guzzler will be cheap a 65 cadillac etc. Mopars are generally gold now go figure...:)
