Pretend that you live in Ferguson Missouri and you were looking for something else to do this weekend. What's the best starting point for a Challenge car that you can find within an hour's drive of Ferguson (call it 50 miles) for $2015 or less? Bonus points if you can find something that's actually in Ferguson (it's not, I already checked).

Note: Car cannot currently be on fire.

Go!

I went searching for cheap El Camino's because that's kind of on my mind lately as a Challenge platform. Best ad I could find was this;

I think there is a Police cruiser or two that you could get for pretty cheap now.

If you do find a car on fire you can use this to put it out.

At first glance I thought the radiator was held in with blue 3M painters tape.

WOW ! Too bad it's so far away/thank GOD it's that far away.

We have a ton of sketchy areas around here, but they don't yield deals like these ! !

I've honestly been looking seriously for a few of those cars listed above in my search for a "Winter Beater" that's anything but.
