There's one listed on Autotrader at Cooper Auto in Clinton, near Anderson SC. It's about 200 miles away from me, and I don't have a free weekend for about a month. Anyone near there? It's got about 160k miles on the clock, and they say it's "running hot" after they just replaced the headgasket...
I picture a bunch of good ol' boys standing around pouring Bars Leak in it...
