I bought a race ready bracket car for less than $3500, a few years back. Had to pay shipping from a few hundred miles away. But, only had about $4k in a decent race ready 11 sec bracket car.

So, you might wanna widen your search area a bit. Also helps to find a body style that is not very popular. For example: A 1st gen Camaro or Firebird will usually be a lot higher than say a late 70's or early '80's A or X-body. I've noticed quite a few GP bodied bracket cars.

I'm a Pontiac guy. But, sbc powered cars are usually the cheapest you'll find. If I were lookin to buy, I'd want a PG trans, or some type of 2-speed. The 1st gear ratio & only one shift have their advantages.
