I'm looking for someone who knows their way around muscle cars

I'm talking with a guy right now about buying his 1970s Mustang Cobra off him. I stumbled across this vehicle by chance and I'm floored by the beauty of it. I am absolutely clueless about muscle cars and have never tried to do anything remotely close to restoring one before but I am very interested in taking on this project as an experience. Of course, being a novice, any major work that will have to be done will probably have to be done at a shop.

I was wondering if anyone where in Vancouver would be willing to give me a couple of pointers on what to look for in a car like this. Or better yet, if anyone is willing to accompany me to take a look at it that would be terrific. I'll buy you a decent lunch and everything.

Here's a picture of the car: http://i.imgur.com/FgxdE.jpg
