Shipping a car across country?

Back in the 90s I flew from Mo. to Oakland, Ca and bought a GOOD 67 383 Cuda and drove back. But I knew it was a done car the owner had put a lot of miles on. Most fun I ever had. Drove 2 lane across Nevada and Utah till I got to Interstate in Co. In Nv. the signs kept saying "open range" in Ut and Nv, never say a cow in those states but I did see 5-6 humans!!
If I were you, and were to drive I would ask how many miles he has driven it. A good rad. is always my first question, IF it has good brakes and steering.
Life is an adventure.
