Frank & I arrived home about two hours ago.  He has to be at work tomorrow, so we decided to see how far we'd get & made it straight through.  Hope everyone makes it home without any issues!  Had a great time!!  Thanks again Clint for all your efforts!

GEN III 5.7L "LS6" Engine swap

that was a long haul for both of you (of course a normal car would take a lot longer than Sarges' GTO).  we are very lucky because we were home in 4 hours.  Of course, I had to add two more quarts of oil again.  As SOON as my mechanic opens up, I wll be calling him.  Sarge, I know you do a lot of your work, I sure wished that you lived closer,  I am glad that you both arrived home safely and in ond looooong day.

Thank you Dave. Glad you made it home ok. It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife.
Hope to see you guys at another gathering sometime down the road.

Great to hear everyone made it home safe and that was a long haul for both of you  ! Thanks for the kudo's - it is much appreciated. I had almost as much fun planning as we did actually doing !  NAH - you guys are great and made the trip very memorable !!!

I too drove straight through - about 12 hours. Just stopped once for gas, and once to switch cars.  Traffic on 95 from just south of Richmond, VA all the way to the PA border SUCKED!

Although a valiant effort was made to get 'er done in one day, Candi and I safely arrived home today about the same time as Mr. Wright.  A slight mechanical issue (https://www.c3vr.com/vrforums/message420986&Jump=1.html) couldn't even slow us down, but a nine mile backup along I-75 in Tennesee did.  It started about 1/2 mile past exit 134.  We took a crossover on the interstate (Candi told me the car was authorized, as the sign required).  The GPS tooks us down a curvy 2-lane blacktop as a detour (I think I heard banjos...) and about six miles along it, that road was blocked.

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

I guess timing is everything. We hit the one lane stretch of 75N about 11:45 AM. There was only about a one mile back-up at that point. We were back up to speed in about 11 minutes.

States I've visited:

Got home this afternoon after a day in MD. Rain off and on all day no big deal, but boy them GY run craps are pretty squirrely in the rain. Was doing about 65 in CT, hit some water and she was all over the place. Only about 16K on the tires, hoping to get around 30K but may not if they get worse with wear. But that's a story for another day.

Rolled into the garage at about 6:30 PM followed directly by the pizza

Jackie and I got in about 1:30 pm yesterday. Rain most of the way home. After unloading the Vette I had to go into work from 3 to 8. The only bad thing that happened to us on the way home was blowing a hole through the muffler! After we split off of the group monday, Dwayne (DWalker) had some engine problems. Hope all is OK with him. I know they made it home. Great trip, Let's do it again!

M-n-S made it with no problems. Rain from Shippensburg to home. Arrived at 1045 on Monday. It was a nice ride, but sure did miss the base car from 1972. We tried to make it in one shot, but the body and reflexes were gettin used up. THANKS for the friendship, seee you all at a later time.

Weee'rre Baaaccckkk!!!  Made it home today after about 3200 miles and a great time.  Really enjoyed seeing everyone and the great events Clint had for us to do.   Had a little bit of rain in Alabama, but no problems.  Ya'll were right, that C6 is a BALL to travel in.  Got about 28mpg overall, which is about twice what I would have in the C3.  Glad to hear everyone has made it home safe and sound.  Have to do it again next year.  Once again, thanks so much Clint.

Thanks again everyone for your appreciation and friendships !

Got home Friday evening, with 2800 miles on odometer. Stop at brothers in NC. for a couple days. On to Shellbyville, Tenn. to pay respect to SRJ. We joined Dave and Nadine in Bowling Green on Thursday. Mid America was on our stop as we headed home. It was great to see our old friends and meet new. Thanks to everyone for a great time, especially Clint, for his great planing and hard work! Dick/Jill

I think we're about the last ones to arrive home.  Pulled into the driveway at "The Ranch" just before 1 o'clock this afternoon.  Got some unpacking to do, a few chores to tackle yet this afternoon and a bunch of cleaning to do to "The Beast" this week.
