Yes, Elmwood Electronics has the SparkFun CAN-BUS Shield in stock —
https://elmwoodelectronics.ca/products/13262

He's currently out of stock of the 9-pin to OBD-II cable it uses, though:

It has! Or at least, an EM506 header. Which might be getting a bit aged
for current GPS support.

Craig, who owns Elmwood, is a huge car-hacking nerd. It's probably worth
asking him what's the best product to do «specific CAN-BUS-related
thing». Arduino's somewhat limited compared to newer platforms, but if
it's what you've got ...
(he might also have a solution for the out-of-stock cable, too)

Craig used to sell Carloop products - https://store.carloop.io/ - but I
don't see them on his site any more. They plugged straight into your
OBD-II port and had wifi/GPS/cell data options.

cheers,
