Default Relocation need help/advice

Hi folks, I just relocated from Jacksonville Florida to Blacksburg VA today. My car isn't wanting to go into reverse. I think the torque converter is going? Does anyone know of a good transmission shop in this area? Also, I've got her stored in a mini storage place and it takes up over 1/2 of a 1oX 30 unit. Can somone tell me exactly how long a 71 is? My tape measure is in the moving truck somewhere between Jax and here. I need to move up to a unit to fit the vette and a 70 El Camino into.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,
The 71 owner's manual says 182.5". So just under 15 feet, 3 inches.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan, wishful thinking on that 10 by 30- storagee unit. They've got a 15 x 35 but its another 75 bucks a month
