You could hire a driver to fly out and drive it back to NC .
Just make sure his name isn't Kowalski ... or Bandit

I thought about offering the seller a free vacation in NC if he wanted to deliver it. It's only 2800 miles. Lol

Another Bird added to the GSO auction .
69 BirdVert 400 4spd with some options
Originally had the leather deluxe interior option but they skimped it down to gold deluxe.

I know the 69 TA's got the power steering cooler lines like are on this car.
But what parameter would put it on this 400 Bird - as factory issue ?
400 HO ?

Realizing too they might have just added it for a bling-zing item

My 1969 400 4-speed coupe with the standard 330 hp 400 had the power steering cooling line and the car was an unmolested original, so it wouldn’t be hard to assume for me at least that all factory equipped 400 cars with p/s would have come with it.

The seller "71GP76TA" has been very responsive during the process. I think dealing with me might not be so fun considering I ask a lot of questions. Some of which might not seem relevant, but he's hung in there with me even though his profit margin is far from huge on this one. Good to know there is still good honest people around.

This was a fun thread for me. All the input from the members here gave me the confidence to purchase a car across the country. Something I never thought I would do.
Buying a California car or for that matter any car from the southwestern region of the US is a smart move in itself.

I’m sure you’ll end up with a nice and honestly represented car.
