   Start with Hemmings motor news.
   If you need cheap, than look locally, as in the largest newspaper in your state. Concentrate on 4 door models for lower prices.
   Understand that basket case muscle cars still sell for $5000 or more. You will never get the money out of it that you put in, but is still worth it.

   Classic muscle cars and cheap are not words that go together too often. As another has said, you can try Hemmings, but again, I doubt if it will be cheap. There is the Autotrader, you may find something local looking through the magazine. Use the computer, and do searches for the cars taht you are looking for. It will take some hard work to come up with it, but it will make it all that much sweeter when you finally find it.

   good lucki.

   Hemmings.com or try some local Craigslist.org postings…you may get lucky. Also try some local Chevy clubs for leads from members.
   Restoration work is usually a labor of love…don’t expect to turn a profit on it….just have fun and enjoy it.
   I once helped a friend restore a 70 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 to a fully optioned, correct, show car over three years and he wound up winning several first place trophies in car shows before selling it a few years later for a ton of money at the time. It was quite the learning experience and he even developed a side business in rare option parts in his quest for rare options for his car. This was back in the early 80’s before all these restoration companies were around and a person had to scour junk yards and buy donor cars to get certain equipment. Good luck.
