I picked up my Hi-Tech last year right in the price range you’re looking in. It’s a very, very nice car that needed nothing at all. Prior to that I was looking at a very nice early ERA with a side-oiler that needed nothing except a fresh set of tires and maybe a little detailing. That one was for sale in the low 40s and could probably have been picked up for around 42. It just takes a little looking and maybe visiting sites like Auto Trader and for sale forums on sites like this, rather than relying exclusively on Cobra Country. Patience is obviously key.
