Hey everyone,
After a few years, I found myself a 1980 62 down in Miami.
Looks great and has 277k, bought it from a guy with a handful of 40s and 60s. It spent 16 years in Texas, 13 years in California, and the rest in Florida.
Anyways, I was thinking about shipping it home over the 1200 miles, but it sounds way more fun (and possibly headache inducing) to fly over and drive it home.
The guy doesn't sound opposed to driving it that distance, but driving an unknown vehicle has it's cons.
I'm guessing that because of his love and familiarity of LCs, it has had enough pm to get it home at least, where I can perform all the service it may need.
Once I get there, I'll be able to really check it out and determine what I'll need to swap in the auto parts store parking lot while loading up on fluids.
I'm making my tire kicking list, but wanted to get some input from you guys to make sure I'm not missing anything. Ive not owned a 60-series before, so I'm guessing there are some things I'm not thinking of.
It will be a trip west on I-10 mainly, keeping at a comfortable RPM.
Thanks,
