I spent about 6 months looking for the exact same thing :-(
I think what you will find for that price range is something
that does not run.
I ended up buying a 1983 toyota that did not run for $500

I am still looking for another just like you are. If you get lots
of people replying to this please pass some along my way (houston)
I don't even care if it runs I will rebuild the engine if it needs it.
