I know a good deal about them and they sound ideal for my circumstances except for one tiny thing.I can't find them anywhere.
I'm in MA and they all seem to be on the other side of the country. I don't really want to pay a $hitload of money for some super customized showpiece,which are the only ones I can find around here.

There are thousands of them, try the newspapers all of them (or pretty close) have websites, there are a lot of bugs in the midwest as rust is not so much of an issue. The price of a good bug has sky rocketed in the last 15 years but there are PLENTY out there, forget the bug magazines ’cause that is where all the showpieces are for sale but try some enthusiast websites they usually have for sale tabs.
You may be looking in the wrong place. Hemmings has a number of them listed in New England and upstate New York.
Everybody is hanging onto them now for they now are collector items(everybody is hoping to turn a buck) Go for the station wagen or type3 basically the same motor. Less wanted but are more stable on the road, and far more useful(you can sleep in the back in a pinch)
Try , look in the classified section.
Where are you in Ma. send me an email
