Brent,
Several year ago the Kit Car Magazine ran an article about a man who came over from Hawaii and drove his car all the way from Oakland to Florida and then up the Eastern Sea Coast and back through the Northern Route in Winter. He had some beautiful pictures of the Cobra in the Grand Tetons with all of the snow, except he was a little blurred from all of the shaking. My favorite part was when he came out of the motel one morning and had to go borrow an ice pick to get the ice of the steering wheel and pedals and then use something so he could get the key in to start the car. He had no top nor heater in the car either.
Is there any way you could make an early trip back and tow the Cobra and than come back and get everything else finished up. That is how a friend of mine that moved to Missouri about a year ago did it. He made three trips towing his cars and then came back and got everything here in order and just had his pick up and trailer left to take back.
