I don't know about newspaper ads but there are LOTS of cars advertised for
sale on the Internet, particularly for sale in California. I am not a car
dealer or anything. I just like cars and I cruise the Internet frequently
looking for cars for sale. Attached are a few good sites that I've found:
http://www.collectorcartraderonline.com/adsearchprocess.html
http://www.mgcars.org.uk/class/USACFS.html
http://www.vtr.org/ads/index.html
So, in my opinion there are lots of decent fun cars out there for
$5,000-$7,000. Many cost LESS than $5,000.
If you need any more Internet site suggestions, just let me know and I'll
refer them to you off the list.
