I'll say right off that I'm prejudiced in favor of blue.... Depending on what age range you want, look for a Ford 5000, 5600, 6600, 5610, or 6610. Those are all 60-72 h.p. (except early 5000's that still have the original 233 c.i. engine- they are rated 57 h.p.)and easy on fuel. All are 233, 256, or 268 cubic inch 4-cylinders.
