Great reading! Makes me wish my car was together and running. LOL, for some reason I thought the topic was going to be on the 302.... I have no idea why either

Did I miss somethign or were there 3 people in the vette for 3700 miles??

Thanks for checking it out guys. For a while I was worried people were boycotting everything I post because of the 302 thing

Glad to see you aren't

I can't wait until I can do one of these road trips in my vette. As soon as my son finishes his vette, maybe we'll take both of them on a road trip.

Neat story. I want to do that with my sons some day-but 1 at a time. I can't imagine 3700 miles in a C3 with 3 adults if I read the story correctly.

..... the only thing neater than a C3 with a 302 would've been a C1 with a dual-carb 409!

I kept thinking through the whole story how did they get three adults in a C3? Did I miss something?

Sounds like you missed reading 101.

From the very top of the story...

"For some time, George Bassek and I had been threatening to take one of the toys and hit the roads of North America for a "driver’s vacation"."
