"Possible"? Certainly.
Advisable? No...especially if you're considering towing a (full sized)car on the trailer...just a baaaad idea all around.

I plan to give it to my daughter. The red one is more the issue of will it be road ready for that long of a journey. I just may drive em both
guess that will be the decision as the clock strikes 12...........

I say DRIVE-EM! No good on a trailor. Passers will be lookin for the crown,vail and train!
Hey Mark,,did that new carb add to the gas mileage or what??? I am lucky to get 10 mpg with mine! Oh well I just cant be a feather foot! I burned over a tank of gas going to Chips show this weekend. It might have been 140 miles. She really likes the cam 2 gas also..smells good too. I just don't think the piggy bank can do that..still looking into a trailer..maybe I can turn off the secondaries..

GAS is good Rich, lookin at aboot 16-17. YES for two drivers! We should see if we can get a prize in place for the TWO drivers and TWO cars traveling the farthest distance to MAM one way. HEY Spielman, No goin around the mountain to get here either.

Terry you really should do a documentary on the trip. It would be awesum and I bet even marketable on one of the many Auto TV shows, maybe even A&E.
Like the old Corvette Summer..........Think about it, mount a small cam right along the mirror with constant download to a small laptop plugged into cig lighter. another digi cam for moma to use. It would be the walNuts
