RE: Car shipping options, I'm getting a new toy.

Gary,
That sounds sweet, I'd actually trade one of my 81's (Mars) if I found a
similar condition 75.
I would consider driving it back home if it is sound.
You will save some $$, have some bonding time, and find all the little
problems that need to be fixed when you get home.
75 was fairly simple so there is not much that can go wrong on the way home.
You might consider replacing hoses and belts, check to make sure the battery
is good, change the oil/filters/coolant, and carry some spare water.
I drove half way across the nation in a 65 Opel Kadette wagon held together
with bubble-gum, duct tape and wire ties.
The radiator leaked so bad that I had to fill it every time I filled up for
gas...one of the best times of my life...:-)
The only damage you would probably do is if you didn't check the oil level,
or coolant level every gas stop.
You might also get a AAA Plus membership, 100 mi. free towing in case you
need it.
I say GO FOR IT !

	Ok,
		So I managed to find a mint 75 that a cool guy has. It has
50 thousand
	or so original miles, and has had *2* owners. It's got a tiny bit of
	surface rust, and has been stored in the south, where it doesn't
rain
	much for a long time. This car *HAS* to be mine. I will have it no
other
	way damn it! I have been waiting so long for this, I can fucking
taste
	it. It's clean titled and all. What are my options to have it
shipped
	back up? It runs, but has not been started in a long time, and I
don't
	want to damage anything. The car is going to be my child, so it gets
	treated as such. Who else has done this? I'm willing to spend a good
bit
	of scratch, but not too much if you all know what I mean :) Idea's?
I
	was thinking maybe 99$ southwest flight to drive it back, but since
it's
	down south in a place where it doesn't rain much, you can bet it's
far
	from maryland(home) where it will be getting babied. Peace,
