I'm sure you'll get some good advice from the C3 guys. Welcome to CorvetteForum.

Zip is a good source for parts and on the Forum here. Not from Dallas so can't help you with a mechanic. As far as tires, if you have the stock wheels you're going to be limited because no one makes a real performance tire for a 15" wheel. A lot of people put BF Goodrich Radial T/A on and are happy with them. I'd put them on mine if it didn't already have good tires on it when I bought it. I've had them on several cars and were happy with them. Also, I'm jealous that you have a 69, my favorite year of C3.
