Old Man with a Hat
Saturday a week ago, I made the deal and acquired a '66 Chrysler 300 convertible with the TNT engine. As many of you know, since I joined C-Bodies Only nearly three years ago, I have had no C-body - just the C-Body burn. I guess patience really does pay off.
All along, I wanted a slabby or a fusey 300 with the TNT engine - and preferably a convertible, but I needed a situation where the seller would entertain a trade along with some cash. I finally found both the right car and the right deal at the same time. Woo Hoo !
No pictures yet, but as soon as I get 'em, copious numbers of pictures will be posted.
Anywho, I am to pick up the car in North Carolina this coming Saturday and drive it back to Maryland - about a 350 mile trip. Although I drove the car about five miles when I looked at it a little over a week ago, I'm a little leery about the prospect of driving it that far back home. The engine runs good and the transmission shifts good. Its got new Hankook 14" tires on it. The drum brakes work really well, it doesn't over heat, and the hoses and belts are all new. Despite my hesitation and concerns, I'm gonna take the leap and drive it home Saturday anyway. What the hell. . . Its an adventure - Right?
My question to the collective is: Other than a fire extinguisher, what should I do / bring in preparation for this trip?
