Keep your eyes open, you might be lucky. Best chance for a low-rust 140 would probably be away from Winnipeg. Small towns and rural areas use a lot less salt on the roads. Saskatchewan might yield something as well. Not a lot of good ones out there, but they do exist. Nice cars, easy to fix, fun to drive. Good luck!

i was just looking at a 145s in the vancouver craigslist, but it seems to be gone. was green and looked to be lowerd a touch, good body and mechanical but had some electrical demons, would start if jumped but not run on its own power. put a want to buy in the cars and trucks section in the vancouver craigslist and see what happens, it was up for months so it most likely was deleted after the 3-4 months rule.

i've got a near rust free 69 142s rolling shell but that wont really help you, not sure what to do with it. seems a shame to cut it up after i strip out the rest of the mehcanics

good luck.

if i had a means of hauling such a thing i would rescue it :(

as for the 145 in van yea i saw that 2 nights ago and was tempted but then how do i get out to vancouver? now i regret not emailing the dude :S

See if there is a "craigslist" in the area and place an ad.
