Of course you can find one. I lucked out and picked up a '71 21" P13-9 in near mint condition on eBay for $365 earlier this year. It was local, so I had a chance to look it over before bidding. If you're in a large city, let your LBS know you're looking for one so if they hear of one for sale locally they can let you know.
Good luck.
EDIT I was doing some housekeeping on my photo server and deleted the original picture. This is how it looks after changing the wheels, stem, handlebar, crankset, and front and rear derailleurs.
