new to forum......new 69 rr 440

If salt and sand are still on the roads I would transport it. I transported mine 800+ miles when I got it back and it was still very dirty but it was in an uncovered transporter. As nice as your car looks I would transport it in a covered rig if you can afford to do so.
 
welcome to the roadrunner nest....great bunch of guys here....anything you need to know we can help....nice looking roadrunner....drive it home...take a chance but i would bring it to a garage and look it over before you go
 
Am considering all options, would like to get a rig and trailer it myself.....I have a Honda Pilot but may be too light. A transport would be ok but there is a minor rip on the frame where it was once transported.....hooks apparently dug in[attachment=0:132omwm6]inside.jpg[/attachment:132omwm6]
 
You can rent a UHaul truck and trailer.
 
Welcome aboard!

Nice looking ride.

I'd check into Big John's suggestion. No risk of it breaking down, no worries with a transport company, and it'll be a nice adventure...

I have had lots of break down and adventures ,makes for great stories to tell later . If you drive them it happens and whats the fun of having them if you dont drive them . Grab what has been suggested plus a couple belts and hoses also and drive it :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
Thanks everyone......I have a month or so to check my options.....will let u know
 
I've had good luck driving my cars long distance. Take some extra hoses,belt(s),wire and a toolbox. I usually have an extra altornater and regulater as well. I've never carred a starter because most of my cars have been 4 speeds. The worst that's ever happened to me locally was the throw out bearing went out on my way to work, but I still was able to drive the car home.
A few years ago my Uncle flew me out to Des Moines,Iowa to pick up a Dakota he won on ebay.A well used truck, and it never missed a lick. Drove it back to eastern Ohio. I have no problem driving an old car long distance. I'd much rather drive an old car than a new one that's all electronic.
 
Welcome! Your new car is a clone to my cousins old Runner. accept his was a 4 speed. I love this combo. wheels included. drive it, he did. from florida to Wisconsin. (april). only had to replace a wheel seal. (iin rockford Ill.) was the best trip he and his wife had in this car. Good luck!
 
Welcome aboard and great 69!!!!

I'd like to say just drive it the thousand miles, but I'd be hesitant to drive mine that distance in one shot and I've owned it 11 years :lol:
 
JUST HIRED A CLOSED TRANSPORT!!!!!!!! TOO MUCH STRESS THE OTHER WAYS. DELIVERED TO MY DOOR
 
Cool! Another tan gut car.

I was going to point out that unless the car is in an enclosed trailer you will risk the salt problem.

Basket, my dad did the same thing. The trunk of my Runner had THREE spare alternators in it along with some extra belts.
