Paul will love this thread......

As I posted here, I lost my grandfather about six months ago. He was the single biggest influence in my life, and I can trace most of my interests and positive attributes back to him, particularly my love of aviation and cars. My fondest memories include flying in his Beechcraft Bonanza and riding in his 1970 Mustang convertible. I have my chance at the Mustang if I want it, which I do. I looked at it yesterday and it was a flashback to my childhood, I love the thought of taking my kids for a ride in it just like he did me.

So, sentimental stuff aside, I'm probably getting a 1970 Mustang convertible, 302 2bbl, automatic, red over white with a white top. My dad drove it briefly to move it and tells me that the exhaust is shot, the brakes are nearly frozen up, the driver's side window track or regulator is messed up, needs new seat vinyl, needs a new top, needs new door cards, and needs an ignition switch. On the upside my grandfather fixed the rust decades ago, the interior is mostly good, the drivetrain is solid (but original), and it has a decent respray. So what are the go to recourses for information and parts? I'm aware of NPD and Google finds about a million more, what is the Pelican of classic Mustangs?
