Default Yenko Deuce accident

I have been trying for a few years to document the accident that James Spencer had while driving his Demo Deuce in '70. I have run into dead ends. Does anyone know of a website that specializes in old periodicals? I'm basically looking for any coverage that the local Canonsburg newspaper would have given this event.

Donna mae told me that she believed James had a mild stroke while driving the car one day, and that he struck a bridge abuttment - flipping the car over. I know which Yenko Deuce it was, and have done a title search on it - the owner is still Yenko Leasing, Canonsburg, PA. I have visited the junk yards surrounding Canonsburg, none of them have any old Novas left laying around, so the car is technically a 'wreck'.

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome as to how to document this further.
