Where do I look now

Jesus christ if I had 25k to buy an abody I'd feel like I won the lottery,, literally hundreds to chose from. If you can afford a 25k toy car, you can afford a 250 plane ticket.

You want it your way your gonna have to build it. I bought mine for 6k, have spent another 6k so far, its blown to pieces in my garage, and will spend another 12k to have a car worth maybe 15k when all said and done.

These things are 50 year old budget cars that cost 3k new and were meant to last maybe 10 years.

I've bought other peoples "builds" before, they are NEVER the way I want them or correct in my eyes.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

this. this right here.

if i had 20~25K to spend i'd go find me either an abandoned project or a nice runner in the 10~12K range and then build it exactly how i wanted it.

i'd be dollars to donuts you could find a really nice slant car in the 15ish range and then just drop in a V8

i had a client that wanted a big block GTO. he didn't want to lay down big block GTO kinda coin; so he found a really nice small block LeMans and had me put a big block in it. spec'd out the build with some nice changes along the way-- better brakes, rear end ratio he wanted, alum radiator, vintage air.

in the end, he got exactly what he wanted and had a ton of fun with it all for less than a big block GTO. sold the car some years later and used that money to buy a real big block GTO numbers car. all because he had a little imagination.
