You can buy a fully restored duster with a 340 or 360 in it for 6K easy.
For B and E bodies (roadrunners and cudas) 6K won't get you much other than a basket case that needs complete resto. Maybe a late 60's barracuda you could get for under 6 G's.
Try www.collectorcartraderonline.com and look up 1970-1976 dusters.
Any early 70's A bodies are fairly cheap. I bought my 73 valiant with 318 for 500 bucks. Has front disk brakes and power steering, these are a real find. Also had functioning R12 A/C! Needs a little body work, paint job, and carpet but it ran good and is solid. I'm pulling the engine now anyway to make way for my 300 HP 273 CID solid cam. Yes I am swapping in an engine with less cubic inches, but it make twice the HP than the stock 318 and still plenty more torque.
