This should keep you busy for a few hours! What's the most interesting sub-Challenge priced car you can find on your local CL? The trick is to use $100-$2000 and search under cars only. Using keywords such as "turbo" and "wagon" will net the weird an wonderful, but there are even better gems to be had.

Behold!

1989 Plymouth Voyager, with a 2.2L Turbocharged engine and 5-Speed manual box! - http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/930267555.html

1983 Volvo 240 Turbo/Intercooler with a 4+1 Manual trans in minty fresh condition for under $700! - http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/ctd/928527707.html

1964 Rambler American 440 2-door with a I6 and 3-on-the-tree CHERRY! - http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/929379751.html

1983 Mazda RX-7 Black-on-black and super clean! - http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/928846392.html

The quintessential 1992 Miata in that wonderful blue for only $1800!!! - http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/926253947.html

1985 BMW 528e 5-Speed in black, looks nice! - http://portland.craigslist.org/grg/cto/929626546.html

And that dastardly little 1970 Datsun Fairlady Roadster with the rotary swap is still for sale: - http://portland.craigslist.org/grg/cto/927222241.html

The best one though?

1980 Chevette 2-door, with a 2.8 Camaro V6 and T5 loaded with racing parts for $1500! - http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/923989423.html

Ok, I'll play...

A Pinto and a Capri, two for one deal. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/900055561.html

Or a V6 Pinto? Might be a good candidate for an Explorer 4.0 swap just to be a little different from the predictable V8 swap. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/921207829.html

Half completed turbo CRX project for $1200: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/908057458.html

No pictures, but an ex road racing RX3 has to be interesting: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/905212225.html

$750 for a Mustang GT project: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/930878091.html

A one of none 1974 Corvair? Never mind what year it is, it looks pretty cool. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/930463519.html

Almost the same starting point as my current project car - this could be interesting: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/cto/924947844.html

The only thing even remotely interesting within 10 miles of me was a 1976 Cadillac Seville. That one was interesting only because I knew a guy who took 2 wrecked ones and made 1, making it a 2 door convertible in the process. He did a really good job, too. There was someone making them at the time as well, they looked like this one.

only thing that really interests me is is a VW Baja project, 2 cars and a load of parts $500...I just might have to pick that one up.

There are a couple other bugs, an rx7 and a 300zx that would make for ok projects. There is also a 66 barracuda but its actually from cali so I'm not counting it.
