Where to find a replacement hood for my '84 240 wagon in NY metro area? 200

My daughter crunched the front of her wagon, and it looks like I can do a little tugging and pulling and just replace the grill and passenger side headlight bezel and lights. The hood buckled, too.

I think I could bend it back fairly well, but it buckled pretty good. I was hoping to restore the car (I picked it up in late December as a decently running project). Mechanically, I'm doing fine with it.

My question is, does anyone have any suggestions on where to look for a replacement hood? I live on Long Island, but I'd be willing to drive a couple of hours away to pick up a hood. I just don't know where I could look.

I imagine shipping a hood from a distance could be pricey. I'm also not too sure how much I could expect to pay for this item.

I'm not in a very big hurry, but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask.

Thanks very much,

Larry
