My search for a Sonett...

I've been scouring the Internet and print ads for a Sonett II for the past month or so with little in the form of results to show. I'm not looking for a complete restoration project. That's way beyond my budget right now but I'd love a good/solid runner in good shape. In my search, I've come across a couple of IIIs for sale that fit the bill.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love the III. The styling is beautiful and its certainly more contemporary but there's something about the II that I really love. More than anything though, I think I'm at the point that I'd really love to find a Sonett to get my hands on and park in the garage! :)
Should I hold out for the right II. Do good examples seem to come around for sale often? Or, should I go with a III since there seem to be more on the market. In terms of reliability, problems, etc., is there anything that I should be aware of between model years? (i.e., is a 71 more problematic than a '73 for some reason?)
I know...its my car, my decision...but I'd still appreciate the thoughts of the board.
Thanks!
-Eric
