First time classic car owner

Hey all, I’m glad to have found this community!

Ill go ahead with a quick introduction:
While growing up through high school and the years since, I have wanted to participate in the car culture my Father grew up in during the early 70’s. The desire to work on a classic car has grown greatly over the last year and a half, and I recently had the opportunity to buy a 69 barracuda, which I simply couldn’t turn down. Body and frame appear to be pretty excellent, but mechanically everything needs to be gone through. Unfortunately the reality of my situation is that it is no longer 1970, and I haven’t grown up working on cars. I could really use a referral to an expert on classic Mopar in the AnnArbor/Flint Michigan area that could come look at the car.

I think I saw an old post about an experienced guy named Adam around that area
Welcome aboard! My first recommendation is to purchase a factory Chrysler service manual for your car. Not Chiltons. Not Haynes. CHRYSLER. I prefer printed first editions, but you may like the CD style. Then you need to actually read the thing. lol It can teach you a lot right from the rip. And that's even if you don't plan on restoring it back to original condition.
