I took a 1000-mile round trip from Virginia to Massachusetts last fall in my 56 3200. It has the stock 235, 3 speed, and the original rear end. I went 55-60 on the interstate the whole way and had no problems whatsoever. One leg of that trip was almost entirely rain, some of it very intense, for 12 hours and 500 miles. The only thing I found a little hard to get used to was cars whizzing past me. Once I got accustomed to that, I was fine. No one tailgated me or acted like a jerk. Like the other guys say, bring your cell phone, AAA card, tools, and spare parts. Chances are you won't need any of it.
