Not many deals to be had on ebay. I searched for awhile for my latest project car. Paid more than I wanted but it came with enough extra parts to sell off to get it back to where I thought it should be.

You'll pay a lot less for something needing a lot of work. But paying more for a complete car does not always put you ahead either.

I'd suggest to keep contacting sellers, eventually you'll find one hungry enough to sell it after he doesn't get his dream price.
