I have given it a good thought about going this year, but there are so many things going on at that time of the year for me. I may have to wait until mid summer to know for sure if I would be able to attend the show. -Bruce

As a matter of fact, we are in the midst of a 1500 trip right now! We left Nashville, TN last week and we're cruising around south GA and northern FL for a few weeks. Our 66 L79 3.70 consistently gets about 16 mpg cruising at maybe 2700 rpm all day long. The sound from the side pipes is so sweet! I installed a Steeroids non-power kit just before the trip and love the new feel. As a bonus, I'll be ordering a 2016 ZO6 as soon as we get back home. It is so cool to cruise all of these backroads in a classic car!!!!

Like Jack, I too have a L79 with a 3:70. I am getting old so I like to drive around 65 mph when on the freeway, windows down and enjoying the pipes.

I guess I'm a wuss. I only drive my 62 fuelie with the original 4.56 in it on shorter drives. However, I drove from Milwaukee to Steamboat Springs Coloradonand back in my other 62 fuelie with 3.55 in it. I highly recommend it!

long distance trip
I drove from Kansas City to Lake Tahoe, Nevada (went to Hot August Nights) about 3000 miles in our '57 with 3:36 gears.... old car/old guy
so lots of stops to fuel-up/drain bladder. Drove legal speed limit mostly.
Only problem was voltage regulator.... otherwise a total blast.
PS: copilot wife also had a ball.
