Don't despare. Good cars are out there for good prices. I just saw a decent 72 sell on ebay in the high teens. I just bought a pre L 72 that I found on the internet also in the high teens. Mine is an unmolested low milage car with no rust. It just needed a couple of items to go through state inspection. Don't give up, they're out there. Happy hunting.
