Hi Bryan,
I've got CD154L waiting for restoration inside a nice, heated garage.
It still drives, has yet to be molested, and as far as I can tell, is all
original. Shows 39k on the odo, and has sat for some 25 years in storage.
I hope to have it ready for the summer of 2000 or 2001.
Maybe you can prepare a list of '250's; there location, condition, etc...if
you get a decent response to you question.
Good luck,
Mike
