Car for 6k

Im looking to buy a car for 6k or less. Im mainly interested in Domestic cars. I want somthing that i could work on and make it faster, the only drawbacks are that since i live in Minnesota it might have to be FWD..RWD would be possible but what id need would be snow tires and traction control.
I just need some ideas for good cars to get..anyone have ideas?!?!

I believe the Mustang GT (1994-1998) came with traction control, but it might not have been until the 1999 re-design.

another choice you could look into is like a Grand Prix. theres lots of aftermarket for the GT and GTP

mustang 5.0 i believe 94-98 mustang v6

The Mustang Foxbody 5.0 is no good in the rain/snow, believe me I've experienced it the hard way. You can get a 94-98 Mustang GT for $6,000 if you shop around, but I dunno if they are any good in the rain either. As long as you take it easy, I'm sure it'd be fine...

Oh yeah, if you decide to go FWD, the supercharged Buick Regal GS is one hell of a sleeper :)

ummm actually kman dad had 92 5.0 and it was just fine in the snow, no problems at all so believe me i also am experienced
