Greetings from Pennsylvania

I just purchased my second C3 corvette from a local guy down the street. I owned a 77 over 35 years ago and I was thinks of buying myself one now that I'm retired. I've been looking for over one year with no luck. I wanted a 1973 or older (of course, don't we all) but I never could find the one that stuck out and had the "WOW' factor especially in my price range! Anyway, last week I was driving with my wife at noon headed to a store. By 3pm we had left the store and were driving home on the very same road and out in front of some old farm house was a torch red 75 L48 corvette. I pulled over, knocked on the door, and an older man in his 70's told me he had just put it out front and that he had been the owner since 85. The paint is amazing. The interior is shot, needs replacing. But the car run and shifts (manual) like a champ. I bought it and put in my garage and I don't have a clue on where to get parts for the interior. Anyone give me some advice on where to go and not get ripped off? Thanks
