Craigslist, no affiliation. If the conversion is done right, this seems cheaper than any estimate I've seen for doing it yourself.

What I have is a 99 Miata MX-5 with an Ls-1 and T-56 6 speed transmission from a 2000 ws6 firebird. The motor only has 82,000 miles on it. The body of the car as 137,000 miles. I have spent $16,500 to build this car and it was built right. Not some back yard hack job. Still has heat and power steering. All factory gauges work as well as cd player. No a/c yet, but I might have it on before its sold. You would never know this was an ls1 miata without popping the hood or hearing it. NO TEST DRIVES WITHOUT CASH IN HAND!!! It dynoed 398 rwhp and I wont risk somebody trashing my hard work. No joyrides or tire kickers either. We can talk through email and if I see your interested I'll give you my nuber and you can call me. Spam will be reported.

Is it bad that I'm making a mental list of every possession I could sell?
Miata - $3500
Tacoma - $3000
Saab - $2000
G20 - $2000
That gets me to $10.5k.
Guns and knives might get me to $13k...
Dammit.

Being a sales manager at a dealership, I would like to chime in by saying that there would be a really slim chance of getting a loan on a 99 miata for $14,500...banks and credit unions give you money based on the car's market value, regardless of modifications. So, most banks would consider paying $14,500 for a 99 miata an unreliable asset and deny the loan and say they'll cap out at $6-7k tops...
Now, if he's military or has a great credit union he may have a chance.
