I think most DMV's will issue a "drive away" permit for a minimal fee as long as you show proof of title.

the cheap tool kit is a good idea.

I have done the fly / buy / drive thing a few times. It is always an adventure, and a great way to start with a new car. When you get home it will be part of the family, or "For Sale".
I sold one to a guy that did exactly that. No tools, no map, and very little extra money. He paid me and asked which direction to Chicago. He called me that night to tell me he made it without issue. He called the next night as he was driving across Nebraska at 85 mph to tell me how much fun he was having. He sent me a photo of the truck parked in front of Devils Peak on the third day, and a note that he was home on day 4. That was more than 5 years ago, and he still owns it.

I used the vacuum gauge to check the general "health" of the engine when running.

A good tool kit, a couple of fuel filters and some 3/8" hose, hand cleaner and rags. And lots of dough for gas...If its got a Holley on it Id bring some bowl gaskets along as well. Sounds like fun!

Indiana gives you 30 days. Just slap on the plate that you "plan on transferring over to it" to keep most of the cops of your back. My friend totaled a 2008 ShelbyGT 500 (with me in it) that he got out of state and had 9 days (with out calling his insurance agent and they covered it no problem. They did make him go ahead and register it (and pay all Indiana taxes first though.
