I'm thinking that the very best place is your own garage. No one loves your car as much as you do.
Purchase a Factory service manual. A AIM Manual and of course get excellent advice on here!
And start working. It's a great Hobby!

That said - it's a 50 year old car. The skills to repair them are slowly disappearing. You're going to have to look hard to find someone who will work on it at all, and being willing doesn't make them competent. Best of luck.

Perhaps you just need a clutch adjustment. Do you have a shop manual, and assembly instruction manual, for your car? It's the best $60- you'll ever spend on it.
You can do the clutch adjustment yourself, easily. If you need to rebuild the Z-bar, that's easy, too. And with a working clutch, you won't need a parking brake until you decide to fix that yourself, too.
