to me there is no bigger thrill in the world then taking a classic car to pick up another one, back in June my cousin and I took my 77 250 miles one way to pick up his 77 Firebird he purchased. you should have seen the looks we got on the way back! ive only taken a new car to buy an old one once, that a year when I picked up my vette, it was in pcolia and dident want to hurt the engine if something was wrong with it, so I took my truck and trailer.
