I just look at the auto trader online, I only see one car for under $2000 but it's from a dealer and it's an '85- Could be a carb.
It's in South St. Paul.

low, low price would assume probably not running... rusted and bad paint/worn interior.

I'm looking for something around $2000. I've looked everwhere even autotrader. I'm looking for one around the cities or in SW Minnesota. I'd consider one not running if they like to deliver. Or one with a carb if the body was in good condition.

dude, i got my IROC for 1500, and believe me, it was worth lookin for it, umm, your not really gonna find sumtin in autotrader for the price your lookin for thats in drivin condition. i'd say your best bet would be the local newspapers, word of mouth. believe me like what they were sayin above, they've got em just layin around, 3rd gens now are like a dime a dozen, for the most part all beat to hell. but then theres always the few around and on here that have either A ben restored or B kept in orignal condition. but, uh, just buy like the local papers from like the 5 closeset towns and just start searchin, your bound to find one. if you've got a connection, have them ask around. umm, i know my local oil change guy knows of like everyone around here's garage project, mine, my buddies, a bunch of his, and so he knows whos got what for cars too, so ask someone like that, see if they might now someone with a parts car or a spare motor layin around

I copied the link from the auto trader. It's from a dealer though so I would definately talk them down, Say $1500. Only reason I mention it is it matches your decription and it's in South StPaul- 15 min away:

http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ca...sp=y&cardist=9

If you wait, they show up all the time for ~2000k. But be careful- the last time I was looking, there were a lot of bad ones out there.
