Aren't all the P80 five speeds compatible across the models ?
Robert Spinner seems to find manual cars in salvage yards pretty regularly, he just pulled one a week or 2 ago (he's in CA at the moment), and he found another one he had to leave due to lack of space in the poor wagon he's working out of. He has been known to go on several searches a day when he's working multiple projects though.

Thank you, AxMan Surplus in Saint Paul! Only 10 bucks.

Got a bunch of 12VDC relays and pigtails for only 3.00 each, too. Great place.

I don't know how far you want to travel, but one was just listed in Syracuse, NY craigslist. He doesn't say he will ship. He is asking $600.
