How about some optimistic thinking? Pay $3k for the car. Dump some marvel mystery oil in the cylinders and get it running. Go to the local fabric store and pay $150 for the interior fabric, put it on yourself. Pay $70 for a gallon of paint at farm and fleet, paint it yourself. Go through the brakes, another $500 maybe, change all fluids $100. For around $4k you have a respectable driver! Who knows, but for sure you'll have a lot of fun and guaranteed to learn something. A whole lot cheaper that just about anything else you'll ever do. Or go buy a new Chevy, spend $40k and in 8 years you can sell it for $3500 to a local college girl.
