WOW! What a TRIP! 
Unless you want to do a COOL ROAD TRIP, I would fly east and rent a car and drive there from a local hotel!
What specifically are you looking for? What year cars and how BIG are the items?

Two weeks will be very hurried and a complete ball buster. You will be exhausted, the Carlisle experience will suffer and by the time you get home you will hate life.
My bride and I just did 18 days consecutive from South Florida to Flagstaff, Cortez, Durango, Silverton, Cripple Creek, Pikes Peak and back home. 5,500 miles of smiles because we limited driving to, usually, less than six hours a day and had some days planned into the trip as activity/relax days.

I did, but only because I bought my first Corvette in San Diego and drove it back to my former home in Pa. 
You don't think about these trips in terms of practicality, you think of them in terms of "you get one life on this planet, tell me why you WOULDN'T drive your Corvette to Carlisle and back?"
I15 through Utah and I70 through Colorado are some of the best interstate highways in the country. Not to mention the amazing roads that branch off if you have time.
Dont' think about it...just do it.

Do it,..............just give yourself as much time as you can spare. I did Richmond, Virginia to Anchorage, Alaska via the Alcan Highway (about 5500 miles). Virginia to Nevada, California to Virginia. All were big fun.
Think about all the places you have been, the flights you have taken.........you remember little just a bit. That does not happen with an epic road trip,......I remember those trips vividly. And always will,........life is nothing more than experiences,.....drive your car. I have put 60k on my car in 10 years.
