Last time I emailed Ken Wilford he had a couple of NOS
South African 5-speeds for $1650 outright.   If that price
is still good from Ken and you want a 5-speed then I'd
jump on it.   You'll still have to get the 5-speed shift
linkage for it and I have heard that its around $350 or
so.  But, $1650 is about the cheapest I've seen brand
spanking new 5-speeds going for in a long time.
