Collector Car Trader is ok. On E-bay you can find quite a few also.
Make sure you go and look at them before buying though, I went to look at a Corvair, beautiful in the pictures, turns out that the guy was in his 80's and had posted the pictures of the car 8 years before, right before the brakes went out and he stored it in the cow pasture.... On the phone he said that the car was perfect, engine was perfect, interior perfect, all show quality stuff, and he really thought it was, if we hadn't seen it in person we would have wasted a bit of money. Rust holes everywhere, rotten interior, engine would only run when ether starter was being shot into it...
Just warning you about buying stuff sight unseen

keep an eye out on the bay area craigslist, it has the most cars listed anywhere. I purchased 5 vettes there at a really good price. But then again i work from my computer all day and I have another one scanning for deals as i work 
....but i have enough vettes now so he has a chance to get a good deal 
Let me know his preference and I'll keep an eye out for it?
