You can get an aluminum car for something starting with a "2" like this:

but remember this car was originally made in the late 90's. Now, a nice fiberglass car will cost you less, but nice CSX cars don't come up that often. If you buy the body alone you're going to have to put in a drive train, which means you have to have the engine built. Some of the better engine builders are not taking orders at present. If you fall in love with an ERA and want it custom made to your specs, you're going to have a long wait and you still have the drive train problem. Your best bet at the moment is to buy a used car that pleases your eyes (CSX, ERA, KMS, SPF, FFR, BDR, HMS all look different and all of us like different differences between them all).
