Dave, I think you need to make a trip up to San Francisco:

Here's the search I've got bookmarked. Occasionally a 245 turbo will turn up, this is how I found my wagon. The sedan I found thru a local classified paper, the Classified Gazette. Good luck finding that perfect 240 turbo. Maybe you should try and talk Lee Cornder out of one of his 242s ;-)

Perhaps you should buy back one of the ones you find in the yard. I know that if I had possessed the cash when I found that 240 with the Virgos, I would have bought it back. Dang thing was in near mint condition. I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why it was in a junk yard. Getting a clean title for it is generally a matter of getting a CHP inspection for it.

Oh yeah, back on topic.. both of my 240s spent their entire lives in the SF Bay Area. Both have fairly significant amounts of rust. The wagon has floorpan rust and some little spots of surface rust. The sedan has rusted out doors, and a chewed up hood, etc. If you don't take care of the car, it doesn't really matter where it is.
