Be prepared to put a lot of money into it. And yes a beautiful car. You might try going to auto parts stores and just talking to the older guys working there. They will probably know where to get parts.

Good posts, above.

Mechanical parts for engine, transmission, brakes suspension steering etc are all easy to come by. A decent local auto parts place should be able to get most of them for you, the rest you can get on-line.

Body and interior pieces are a but tougher. But in this case, the internet is your friend.
Hemmings Motor News is another excellent resource.
