Help with classic muscle car pricing?

Hello, i am seeking a car for around $5000. Do you think this is possible for a stick shift, full framed car with a running engine, The cars i would like: 1969 pontiac gto the judge, 1971 dodge charger, 1971 plymouth duster, 1968 chevy camaro, 1968 firebird 400, or 1970 chevelle ss. Also, if it would b 1 i have to restore (which i dnt mind) could u estimate the parts pricerange? Thx :P

1. In a word, no. Most classic muscle has already been restored and worth tens if not hundreds of thousands. A 70 chevelle SS will easily be over $30,000 if original restored. You might find a 60s camaro or bird for $5000, but it will be a basket case.
2. Sorry, but any of these cars will go for way more than your price range. A 70 Chevelle SS can go for $50-100,000 easily (at least a numbers matching / big block car). For less than 5 grand, the car will need EXTENSIVE work. Choose a less popular car to get into it for less money. good luck.
3. You should try Hemmings Motor news. They have all types of cars in the advertising pages in the paper version. I don't know about the online advertising though. http://www.hemmings.com/
