Well,
What are you into? Just a cool looking 69, or a yenko clone? Clone is a loose word. You can buy a stripe kit for $299.00.
Here are some of the sites that I troll for cars:

http://www.racingjunk.com
http://www.musclecars-and-classics.com/
just a few, also post here in the wanted section, as well as camaros.net (
www.camaros.net).
As long as you are not looking for a Z, SS or such you should be able to find one in that range with some looking.
Ebay is a double edged sword. I have seen some smoking deals on there lately, try friday night or holiday auctions, as they generate less last min bids.
What you did here was a good start, find a car you like and ask questions. Remember, if it's too good to be true, it usually is. If not, it's sold
If it's a smoking deal, PM a member here you trust, as sometimes you can start some bidding against yourself, or the seller can be searching these forums and shill bid you up to what he knows you'll spend.
Questions are how handy are you, can you do some light mechanical or body work? If that's the case, you may be able to get a driving project for less and finsih it the way you want (in fact I have a running 69 camaro project that was a flood car for sale
that I'd let go for 18k, rare options, and certified by Jerry MacNeish).
Quote from Jerry MacNeish's report (this is in writing in the report):
" Rare exterior and interior color combinations with many factory installed options. This is the perfect car for someone on a modest budget." "This car should be brought back to new condition as it represents a nicely optioned car."
