Default Trouble finding parts for 71 RS

Im looking for a hood that goes to a 78-81 camaro for my 71 camaro I have been told they are interchangeable. The hood styles that really caught my eye are these



I have been scouring google for about a month with no luck checked local junkyards etc. and no one will offer to have any of their hoods truck shipped
I am planning to restore this car with OEM Camaro parts of various years with as few modifications as possible.
If anyone has any suggestions on where to find a hood like this please let me know.

I offered the guy who was selling the one on top 175 (his asking price) not including shipping. I am located in wise, Virginia. whats the condition of the hood?
And whats your location anywheres withing the range of about an 7 hour trip from here is as far as Im willing to go otherwise is shipping an option ?
I peeked at your info and it said Dayton, Ohio Google maps estimates a 6 hour trip looks like its in my range.
