Might I suggest you get a '73 that is close to what you want and work on it together (father/son) to get it exactly like you remember.
I poked on flea-bay and found a burgundy one in decent condition for 10 grand (item # 4627203675). Spend another 8-10 thousand on paint/trim changes and a year or so together and you'll have a car exactly like you describe. Only you can decide if the total cost is worth it compared to waiting for an exact match. But either way, your quest is worth pursuing - I wish you luck in your project and it'll be something your son will remember and talk about his whole life.
