A few around as per the ebay links below but very pricey and ranging from US$550 (used) upwards towards US$1,100 (brand new) for one only and a brand new pair is currently sold at US$2,000.  

A little reading is also available on the technical manual.

This is a fairly "late" 1968 (after October?) being that it seems to have the larger amber turn signal. Just checking that it matches the opposite side that's not being replaced. Personally, I'd look for a clean USED one so that they two don't appear mis-matched.
