Anyone know a mechanic in Northern California?

I'm in Santa Cruz and today was my first day with my 1973 Duster. The owner told me all the problems (tranny fluid leaking to exhaust, needs new torque, etc.) Since I'm new to all this, (and I have the mechanical ability of a musk ox) I'd like to take it to someone for the major stuff. But I can't find anyone here so far who knows the classic A-bodies.
Any ideas? Beuller?
