So I went to Utah and picked up a 78 Firebird Trans Am over the weekend. It took 1 hour/$25 to fly out there, and took 29 hours/$370 to drive back.
Trip Summary
Gas, Oil Change, 2 Hours at Checker Auto Parts, 300 Miles and Tire blows out (3 hour repair), 6 Miles and electrical completely dies, Overnight hotel, Fix Electrical, Drive 200 miles in terrible rainstorm, 50 miles home. Car has vacuum and carb issues the whole way. The result is that we have poor breaks (power assist not working) and the car dies every time you stop giving it gas.
