Where did the 140's go? 140-160

Hello Everyone,

A friend of mine and I have noticed that the 140 series has become a rare model in the Seattle area, particularly compared to the 122 and 544, both of which seem to have made a mild resurgence. Sure, we both migrated to the 122 after owning 140's, but now we really miss our now 140's and want to go back. Has anyone else observed this phenomenon in other parts of the country? I think that the 140's, since they share or have upgraded components, were probably sacrificed for 122's and 544's. If this is true, I hope that those whom made a habit (and profit) of robbing the 140 to feed the 122 realize that the former seems to be a rare model now and ceases this practice. Thoughts?

(Any one have a decent 1968-1971 142S with a manual transmission they are willing to part with)

Colin
