What's someone gotta do to find a nice 80's touring bike?!

So I've been looking for a new touring bike for about a month now. I've been checking craigslist (even the cities 180 miles away from me), ebay, local ads, local used bike sellers, local bike shops, and I've checked out two bikes so far and they just didn't fit. Does anyone in the Los Angeles area know any places I should check out? I'm looking for an 80's touring bike, Univega Specialissima's, Miyata's, Schwinn's, I'm even considering the Surly long haul's too. I'm 5'10.5" with a 34" inseam so I'm around a 57cm ideally. I just bought a Univega Specialissima frame last night but found a dent in the top tube so I'm returning it today. Help a brotha out! I really want to get in a trip at least to San Francisco before the weather turns crappy. I'm AMAZED at how NO ONE rides touring bikes around here. It's really lame.
