I appreciate all the replies received so far. I am capable of doing some work/repairs, but not as interested in doing so as I was years back.

So, it sounds like mechanical part availability is not an issue other than cost of parts being expensive? More of an issue would be body and interior trim parts. My take on that then is to buy a nice car and not a fixer upper. Prices I've seen so far seem fairly affordable. Does anyone have a feel for future price appreciation? Not looking to make money, just interested in enjoying the car for a while and not taking a big loss on selling in the future,
