Drive 1000 mile bringing new old car back home

go for it, get an extra ballast resistor, ignition control unit , and voltage regulator. some basic hand tools will also be wanted for any trip as well as extra fluids. of course a AAA membership wouldnt hurt either. driving my cuda home over 300 miles i had an electronic control unit let go in the middle of nowhere. luckily i had one in the trunk and had a good trip the rest of the way. those were the days before cell phones too. yeah i was nervous for about 5 minutes. also driving my newly aquired old ramcharger pulling a trailer on a 300 mile trip, i had a trans seal let go.had to carry a case of trans fluid a mile down the highway to nurse it to the truck stop. once there i let it cool and bought every case of fluid on the shelf and made it home.
