Just be patient until the one that talks to you comes along. I
looked for 8 months till I finally found one that was close to what I was
looking for and for such a good price that it made the search worthwhile. An
original '70 civilian Ambo, white with the red/black pinstripe, new clutch,
rear seal, u-joint, and tires, with 45k on it in very good condition for
$2,800. This was in Ca where everything cost more. It also came with a
Windjammer fairing (for sale), the matching (white and pinstriped) Wixam
bags and top case, extra cables and belts, parts and service manuals, and an
extra 4-speed transmission. There is a '71 Police Ambo in Cycle Trader right
now that looks good for $1900. Ignore this guy.

Well, after thinking long and hard and mulling over the various
opinions
expressed by all the helpful list members, I decided I'd buy the
not-running police ambo for $3000. Well, I called the guy and he
told
me I had my chance and now it's up to $3800 - what he paid for it
when
it was running and hadn't sat - stored wet, no less - in a shed for
two
years! I politely told him I couldn't do that and he told me I
wasted
his time making him show the bike last sunday and he hung up on me!
So,
I guess it wasn't the bike for me. Thanks for all the advice gang!
Going to look at an ambo this weekend. Wish me luck!
