Wanted In need of an FJ60 5 Speed

Location

United States

Had a plane ticket to buy a 5 speed in CO Springs and the guy said he was holding it for me... but someone else came along and offered the guy more so he sold it the day before I was supposed to fly out.
Ugh.
If you're like me, you know how hard it is to get your wife on board with you to buy your dream car, and then someone takes a crap on your dreams.
So now that my pity party rant is done, if anyone knows of a RR FJ60 5 speed please let me know! Not looking for anything souped up or completely restored, just looking for a DD that might need some small things here and there done. Body damage and interior could be just good quality. I don't want to spend more than 4k for the truck.
Any links to CL or local classifieds would be great.
Thanks, y'all.

Ended up buying one about 2 months ago! It doesn't have a 5 speed in it, but I got a good deal on it!

cool, I just bought one from a buddy of mine. I've been doing a couple of things to it. I need to get the feeler gauges out and fix the engine ping issue, never done it before. This is my project truck. I got mine for $3,700 with only 161,000 on it. The carpet is thrashed, easy fix, the paint is a wreck, who cares, and the driver seat is a mess but oh well.

Awesome. Yeah, you can't really complain about those things too much on a 30 yr old wagon. That rules man.
