Good luck finding one that still runs and then finding parts for it after that. They're increasingly harder to find, especially in decent condition. And they're not paticularly cheap when you do find them.

Quite cool though, I wish you all the best in finding one. Not to be pessimistic, but do not get your hopes up on finding a great one.

Don't give up! Although you may want to expand youre search area to, well, anywhere you find one. They're hard to find, and hard to find parts for. If you're looking for a classic, they're well worth the search though. As a daily driver, very impractical, since you will spend a mint buying used parts to fix it when it breaks. Out of curiosity, are you buying to use, or to restore?

Definetly look around if you really want one. If you live up north, you're gonna have to deal with bad rot, if you live down south...well let's just say I've been through at least 10 junkyards in the last four years and have found ONE so far. So start looking, calling around, anything you can do to find one. Best of luck my good sir.
