Ship it or drive it....

I would drive it. What's a couple thousand miles. Back roads or the right lane and take your time.

I have someone to go with me. I'm thinking about renting an Enterprise mini van and taking the family on a trip. This way I can pack tools and spare parts. I literally have my Demon 340 engine apart and can bring a box of spares. Carb, coil, ballast, distributor... Things like that. Take a week off work and take her slow. I'm buying the car to drive so I don't want to just putt putt around town when I get it home anyway.
