Thanks to all. I am really interested in staying older than the '85s because I do like to do most of my own work and I like the looks. I cannot find a 240 at all (I would love a manual 240) and all of the 300's in this area that I have seen are either very high mileage (300K+) or rusty and rough. Oh, some are fine looking but over $6K.

I guess I will have to be patient.

I will continue to read here on the forum and take any input. Obviously, if someone comes across one in NC, let me know.

Don
