Yes, it's ridiculous, the days of a decent running $500 car are basically done because it's worth at least $350 in scrap metal value alone, which is really clearing out the ultra low end runner market.
That's pushing price up, but what's pushing price down is that cars started being really good in the '90s, so there are far more decent survivors out there now compared to when low end cars were from the '70s and '80s.
No AC is a tough sell in a hot climate as even at the low end your competing with some cars with AC these days, and tires are a big expense that people in this price range aren't looking for. Without knowing more about the condition of the car (especially aesthetics) it's tough to say, but I would agree with starting at $2k to see if anyone bites but expect to accept $1500 or a bit less. Also, expect to deal with some weirdos in this price range (definitely don't ask less than it's worth or for some reason the real creeps start coming out).
