Been a member for well over a year, but on the 18th of this month, I will finally be a member, with a B body! 1971 GTX, #'s matching, AC, GA4 over white buckets. Not perfect (yet) but driver quality and I couldn't be more excited. I have been after a 71/72 GA4 GTX (or Roadrunner/GTX) since 1985 when I first saw one for sale in Golden, Colorado. The time never seemed right for a project car, but now, finally, she will be mine! Deposit is put down, B'ham bound on the 17th.

I don't remember seeing that one in this neck of the woods. Super nice driver. I'm sure you will give it a good home.
 
Nice car. Also one of my favourites. :)

You driving it back?
Even if it is in good shape, I assume you know what spare parts to carry.
A "new" car is always an unknown.
I drive one everyday that I built and I carry spare ignition stuff.
Water container, jumpers, oil etc.
Cross country in an auto car I've even carried a spare starter and alternator.

I was planning on, oil, brake fluid, atf, coolant, fuses, alt belt, water pump belt, jumper cables, funnel, rags/towels and a new basic tool kit. Since I am flying in, will grab pliers, sae sockets/drivers/wrenches, dykes, screw drivers new jack, stands, and probably get one of those battery jump boxes. Figure a couple hundred in tools and such could be a literal life saver. Non smart *** question, if you can think of something I am missing from that list, please throw it out there. Been a while since I had a car I could wrench on, I am more than rusty. Also got a haynes manual I will be bringing with me.
 
Btw, what year mini starter works on a 440?
