Lightbulb Free Transportation to Florida!!!!

Does anyone (with a legal drivers liscense...) want to have some fun & drive a nice '73 280 sedan from New England area to SUNNY (did I say HOT Babes in skimpy bikinis !!!!) Florida!!!???

I am a couple of days away from buying a pretty nice road worthy '73 MB , and while it may be best to use a transport company to truck it to me in Florida, I am open to suggestions & options. I am having a mechanic give it a good once over Monday morning & if the suspension & undersides check out OK, I will have my 1st gasser in 2 years.

Any takers or ideas??
Austin

If you can wait another month I may be game. I can't get away because of school until after the holidays.

Where is the car located and what condition is it in? Ie will it make it?

I'd certainly be interested... I'm out of school in a week and a half. So yeah - where is it and will it make it?

It's in Rochester, NH
I had a mechanic do an NH inspection; & it needs a little fromt end suspension ball joints tie rod bushings;; and a new battery; It runs nice though.
I am close to getting it, but considering one down here this weekend & a possible 380 SLC in Tampa area also with red seats;
