Was in Chicago last weekend, NO Jeremiah Weed 😭. Search continues...

Check the SE Michigan mechanic thread below - confirmed cruiserhead and a positive report from @Mi60cruzr about a shop in Monroe: Ragnarok Motors. Dennis is the person to speak with. If you find someone competent at the Ann Arbor dealer please post - I'd be shocked but you never know. Good luck!

Not sure if you're already doing so, but you could look in Ontario too, I have an open search on Kijii (the site all Canadians use to buy/sell cars), now and then something interesting pops. I believe LHD 70 series were sold in Canada for a brief window in the 1980s. Kijiji Autos - New and Used...

Hey @Crush 4 , I think that was me asking about your short bus a while ago - but I'm all set now. Good luck finding someone local, looks like a sweet deal!
