Hello everyone! New member with almost zero experience in restorations, please bear with me here.
In the spirit of keeping this short: I have the opportunity to buy a 1969 Mach 1 from a distant relative. The car has been in my wife's family since new and has been stored for the past 15-20 years. It has been a daily driver before that. No accidents, I have no idea on rust (yet).
We want to take this over and bring it to where we live (up North). I am a real estate developer and know I am not handy at all and I will have to hire a shop/other people to get this restored. I wouldn't mind project managing this but I would have to learn a ton prior to that. Lots of loaded questions following, I realize there are many unknowns to get exact answers:
Many thanks!!

- things to check for, any articles or restoration guides for the '69 Mach 1?
- opinion on value as is? Assume not running
- any recommendations for shops in MA that could handle a full restoration?
- opinion on cost to restore and value post resto?
Many thanks!!
