Rusty, Non-working Bike for Man Cave

Not sure if this is the right forum..the mods can move this post if needed.

I've been given the green light to convert our junk room into my "man cave". I'm looking for a junk road bike to put on the wall.. I plan on painting it one color, similar to ghost bikes (all white), but this one will be all orange with blue tires (Florida Gators, Go Gators!). I thought I would have an easy time finding a very inexpensive (< $50) junk (rusty, non-working) road bike i.e. thrift shops, garage sales, etc., but I've been looking for a couple of weeks with no luck! Everything I've come across has been working bikes with the seller asking $150+. I would hate to buy a working bike just to use as wall decorations. Any suggestions of places to contact/search would be greatly appreciated. For PA locals, I live NW of Philadelphia in Montgomery county willing to travel within a 75 mile radius of Philly, give or take a few miles...

Thanks!
