9k: Practically UseleSS: 1991 Chevrolet 454SS

Sometimes you can just look at a vehicle and think, "I bet that driver owns a Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt." And while most trucks don't make good cars, the rare performance-special 454SS doesn't make much of a truck either. For $34,000 (in 2015), you got 2wd, a regular cab, regular bed, two seats, a 1,000-lb payload, and 10 mpg on the highway. Gas was cheaper then. In a way, it's like a Corvette with a fuel leak and blown struts, but more room for empty beer cans in the back. That's good enough for some people. Find this 1991 Chevrolet 454SS for sale in Yakima, WA for $9,000 via craigslist.

5k: Fastro Van: 1995 Chevrolet Astro Van 454 V8

The Chevrolet Astro/GMC Safari was a medium sized van that used light truck power trains in a unibody van chassis.  Its rear drive setup separated it from the front-drive mini-vans, but the size (and mass) of the Astro/Safari was closer to the minivans, which makes them the perfect car for a righteous engine swap.  Find this 1995 Chevrolet Astro Van with 454 V8 here on eBay, currently bidding for $3,500 reserve-not-met with 1 day to go.  Tip from Adam.
