Hi John,
I asked the bloke the other day and he reckons they are still available. I googled around and it seems $330-$400 is the going rate but I didn't ring anyone to confirm prices and availability.
My Mum, just brought around the last of Dad's planes (100'' Curare with Zenoah G-62 (150%), built in '92) on the weekend and I have officially run out of room in the house and in the shed so if I get another plane my GF will hurt me.
As for why they can be comparatively expensive, if it's a recognised design regardless of the manufacturer then I'd bet there's a licence fee or royalties involved.
Did the Curare ever fly? I recall seeing a photo of one many years ago in the Kfactor... was this the plane?
