I flew out to Missouri from Atlanta, and drove my $2,000 '62 Suburban home. The guy said it would make it, and it did! I brought along a complete set of tools, a spare fuel pump, etc. Got there, changed plugs, made new wires (it had been converted to HEI and alternator already), stopped at Wal-Mart and had four new tires put on, stopped at Jiffy Lube and had all the fluids changed, and hit the back roads for about 1,000 miles home.
Did it with my 10 year old boy.
For other things, I have a heavy tandem axle trailer I practically stole a few years ago--$300, weighs 1820 pounds. Great trailer, but it needs four new tires, new wiring and it never did have trailer brakes that worked.
One of these days, I'll sand blast it, re-do all the wiring, paint it, and have a really good trailer again.
But there's a long to-do list ahead of it!
