well if some shop can make the wires then so can the op if he is mechanically inclined. Go to the junk yard ans find a set of wires from a similar car and strip it down to see how its built. then go and buy the materials and make your own. I did this when I could not find any non-resistor spark plugs. I ended up making my own from a set of resistor plugs.

The original wires very rarely fail. It is usually the resistor ends that fail and they can be replaced without replacing the whole wire. The ends unscrew off of the wire.

Ok.
So, I've gotten plenty of information to digest! I'm not being making my own, provided I can find the proper wire at a reasonable cost and find the time - which I think I can around the holidays. They're has been a suggestion of a source - "Kingsworth" or something of the sort. Is there another couple sources online worth mentioning? There isn't much of a market for used plug wiring but I sure hate to waste these good NGK silicone wires with not more than 15K miles on them...  Thanks Dale

EDIT: meant to say...
So, I've gotten plenty of information to digest! I'm not beyond making my own, pro.....

As was mentioned above , it appears Bosch long longer makes plug wire sets. A quick internet search reveals that Beru plug wire sets are still available for around $85. I would not hesitate to use Beru products. I also found that the individual parts are still available but are not a good option money wise. The resistor ends list for$22.50 each and the bulk wire is $20 a meter.
If you still have the original wire set you may could repair them but if you need more than 4 resistor ends it would be cheaper to buy a complete set of Beru wires.
