X64v Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 So, I'm being paid to fly from Arizona to New Hampshire tomorrow to pick up a mostly restored '67 Camaro convertible and drive it the 2,700mi back here. I don't think I could be any more excited for this trip. Gonna take my camera, will try to get some interesting pictures along the way.

hoov100 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Carry an extra set of belts, spark plugs, a gallon of ATF and a small assortment of tools, as well as stay in an area that has cell phone coverage.

JSM Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I almost did the same trip for a 73 240z. I ended up finding a car locally, but I wish I still bought that car. That would have been an adventure. Good luck. Did you sell your Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X64v Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Thanks for the advice guys. Definitely will pick up an El Cheapo wrench set and a few other misc tools, along with spares. Nope Jeff, still have the Z, though it's getting hard to drive in this heat. The Camaro isn't mine, I'm just collecting it. Mike, can't respond to your PM 'cause I'm on my BlackBerry, but thanks for the offer, I put your number in my phone in case I have any problems up that way.

FlatBlack Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Gorgeous!! I've always had a pipe dream of owning a first gen Camaro. Too expensive for my pocket book, which is why I drive a Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeatrpi Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Glad you got it - if you're still in the area I'll buy you a beer! EvilC and Cygnusx1 are somewhat close to Rye as well. By the way, your job sounds a LOT more exciting than mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Better Advice: Make sure your auto insurance policy covers you in case something happens, and make sure the AAA Ultimate Towing Option is currently in force for whatever may happen. Broke is broke. El Cheapo Wrench Set won't save you from anything that you should notice in the first 30 minutes of driving the car and fix then and there before heading cross coutnry. If it breaks, it's broken hard and you will need to be TOWED to the parts. A 150 mile tow isn't a cheap prospect. Plan your route accordingly.
