looking for body replacement

I have a 1992 Formula Firebird Ttop car everything works well on it still but i am looking for a new body because this one is rusting to pieces on me.
the floor pans, inner fenderwells, and pretty much everything around the rear end are rusted beyond reasonable replacement. The exhaust from header to the tips at the end of the pipes are new and not corroded at all yet. but i'd like to find a southern body that's not been hacked all to pieces or in any major wrecks to be able to drop my good running motor, transmisson, and rearend into. I would like it to be a T-top car doesn't matter if it's a Camaro or Firebird i like them both and have owned them both so no preference at all either way.

would be nice to find another body like the one i missed out on recently here it was another 92 white one that had no motor, trans, or wheels for $500.00 the rest of the car was mint. i like the red one in Knoxville but the doors would have to be redone on that one. not a total deal breaker though i don't mind working on them some. there is just no way what i have is able to be restored because aside from the rust issue underneath the body is also tweaked and the driver's side door is hard to open now also. i only paid $500.00 for what i have so i'm wanting to kind of keep the cost down as much as possible but thanks for the links. i had looked at CL before (not with in the last 3or4 days) just haven't found anything decent recently no matter where i look unless i want to travel to California or Florida for it and those are really expensive because of where they are from.
