This is my first post. Looking to buy a 1969 164 that needs a few things. Where are the best places for parts? Are normal wear items available? For example steering and front end stuff? I tried IPD in USA but their offerings are limited. Local dealer was discouraging. I guess the factory does not support the really old cars?

1969 164 Parts Needed

• valve cover gasket (found some on eBay last night / other sources?)
• windshield rubber gasket
• brake master cylinder (or booster) - pedal goes to the floor
• brake pads, and possibly brake cylinders
• left (USA driver's side) hood hinge is broken (big rivet on body broke (looking for hood hinge assembly)
• wheel "beauty ring" (need one)
• diagonal Volvo trademark emblem for grille (missing)
• OEM period radio
• tune-up parts (cap, rotor, wires, etc.)
