Here are a couple more sites to check - both have "cars for sale" listings:

I hope you are willing to travel to get your car. Ones in "original rust and filler free condition" with a clean interior are apt to be pretty scarce in and around Virginia. It may take you awhile, but don't give up - it's out there somewhere.

Cars in that condition are difficult to find anywhere and they won't be low priced either. For the kind of money you are looking to spend you will probably end up doing a little work yourself to make it right. Not that you can't find a good car for under 5k, but it will not be perfect, so the idea will be to find the best one for the price you are willing to pay.

I thought the 71 I bought was in the condition you described until I started sanding the undercarriage, thats when I noticed one place that someone had filled with bondo before they repainted the car. Gotta hand it to them, I had to look pretty close but it was still there. And no, mine isn't for sale.
