Welcome! Nice find - black is a good color on spiders.

Start with Centerline in Boulder CO and International Auto Parts in VA:

Cool wheels.

Besides the dust, it looks like it's in decent shape.

There's a thread on the BB dedicated to suppliers of parts and supplies. From the sources listed there, you should be able to get everything you could possibly need to get your car up and running. From that point, whether you want to turn it into a racer or restore it to showroom condition (or just drive it!) anything you need should be pretty easy to find.

Here's a link to the "Suppliers" thread:

Good luck, and keep us posted! And, post some pics when you get it cleaned up a bit!
