Crate 22RE
I got it about 7 years ago or so from a dealership. Cost was in the $3K neighborhood.
Came in a crate from Japan! Don't know if they still offer such a thing.
In Nashville. $1,750.
Solid mechanicals, details are rough. Less than 100K on BRAND NEW IN THE CRATE factory 22RE long block (4 Cyl.). Tranny (5 spd) professionally rebuilt 3 years ago. Very reliable. Brakes and running gear solid and maintained. Car has 267K miles.
Great starting point for 4X4...
