Ben,

There's a nice '71 for sale in Hudson, West of Montreal.  It is already imported
from California w/ Quebec plates.  It's got a recent blue paint job, and a
semi-recent engine rebuild.

It has been sititng for a couple years however.... and I imagine you could buy it
for under 2000$ CAN.  (I think you might be lucky and pick it up for less)

Oh yes it's a hardtop Kombi, with the bed and some cabinets in the back.  Lots of
spare parts too, I believe..... and all the guages added in for monitoring engine
performance.

I'll take you to see it if you'd like.  Any weekday morning is good for me, or
Saturday / Sunday.

Best regards,
Shawn.
