'New' Old Car

Not sure this belonged in the parts forum since its not really civic/import related so here goes: So my mother just bought a 1966 buick electra 225 for me and my dad to fix up (originally owned by my great grandmother then great uncle and now us). Its in pretty good shape for a 36 year old car. Since about 1975 its only been taken out of the garage to be driven in parades but its in pretty dern good shape, though it does need some work (painted, re-upholstered, some engine work). So now to my point does anyone know any good sites to get restoration parts for classic GM cars?

I'm not sure how far back they can get parts, but I've gotten all kinds of parts for my old 92 Grand Am through gmotors.com. You may also want to find a GM Restoration shop in your area. There's one not too far from me, but they specialize in Pontiac restoration. Good luck, and let's see some pics!

You might do well on Ebay for parts.
