After a week long ordeal I finally got her home.. My car Left CA. Monday last week and was supposed to be here last Thursday or Friday .I Finally got it yesterday .. I'll try and make the story short. I get a call Monday saying the transport driver lost everyone's keys , Ok.. Then they needed me or my seller to get a new set , then after a day of finally getting a set of keys made, that still didnt deliver it ( said they wont drop of cars at night time). next day , still no show, Transport Co. had driver issues, and the next day I have to meet the guy 75 miles away to get my car . The driver said he was another drive from another company and didnt know the deal with the car but heard rumors that it was sitting in a gravel lot for a few days.. ANYWAY -I have her here ,she looks great no damage but, My concern is ( this is where I could use some advise) . When I got in the car it was dead . The battery was totally dead .( they left the dome lights on) we jumped it off and it started right up. But was wanting to stall at idle, By the time I got home it seemed fine . I think it was low voltage? starts right up now and idles fine. Other question is I have never heard an LT5 engine run and this one is making a funny noise when driving in 1st & 2nd and a little in 3rd, Kind of like a slight tapping / diesel sound. My concern is I know and trust the owner from CA. 100% but did the guys who said they lost the keys go dog my car ? Is something wrong? is it supposed to sound that way?
Also I'll get the name of the transport Co. and let you guys know who they are so you can beware. I do know they are out of Memphis ,TN..
I'll get a few pictures this weekend... Thanks Me
