Tools and supplies needed for roadtrip in new 69 E
Dear 911 list,
I am buying a 69 911 E Targa in Michigan and am planning to fly out and road trip back to NC. The car has been sitting for a while but I am paying the shop that did the PPI to do a tune-up, oil change, brake flush, valve adjustment and a few other things to get it ready for the trip home. My question to you guys/gals is what tools and parts should I fly out with me to make sure I have what I may need in the event of a road-side breakdown. I don't think the factory tool-kit is in the car so I need to bring everything I may need. The car has the mechanical injection and the standard ignition system. Thanks for your advice, Rich |

you're gonna get a lot of opinions for tools etc., but when I bought my '68 912 in Tulsa and drove it back to Houston, I made sure I carried:
1. my cell phone 2. my AAA card... 3. my VISA good luck and enjoy! |

Here's some food for thought...but Evren plans on driving his still sight unseen '71E from Oregon to NYC...estimated departure in a couple of weeks. Hoping he makes lots of happy posts along the way

Assortment of 11, 12, 13 15mm rings spanners, get you mechanic to see you off with a spare fuel pump, you never know. Spare fuses, the usual roadside stuff. Make sure you've got a good bottle jack and chock of wood. Don't trust the jack points in the event of a flat. I got an E with Webers so I don't have to worry about that MFI drive belt. Wave as you drive by!
