If you get to Oklahoma City and have problems, let me know. It's only about 2 hours away and I can run down with the Powerwagon and trailer if need be.

Private message me if you want phone #'s, e-mail, etc.

Sounds like a fun trip John.Enjoy the ride and mostly the looks and reactions your gonna get among the way.Will be memorable.I used to run bought wingcars from Houston Texas to here in NJ.And got some leeds from people saying there where cars like mine down the road in a field etc.And pack a spare ballast fuel pump and some tools.And have a good safe trip back to Michigan.Good to see a US muscle car back on its home turf.Lately alot of cars have been going overseas

I got to ride in the thing b4 it left. It felt pretty sound, although I was only a passenger..

There were no tell tale signs of oil or fluid leaks and no horrendous sounds...

Steering may have been a bit "vague", bit i think OBSB knows this anyhow...

I think being right steer officially qualifies it as a Oz Muscle car now

If you're going that far out of the way thru Utah you just as well come up here to the Pacific Northwest. We could give you a warm welcome and supporting cast. The Rocky Mountains don't hold a candle to our Cascades,IMO.

Here's to a safe trip, John.

Well, John just called me from his cell phone to ask some tech questions about a laptop computer he was about to buy. He was at a Best Buy in L.A. and wanted to make sure the pre-installed software had at least something that would allow him to downsize the digital pix he's going to be taking while on the road. If all goes well, he and Jeff (Oz) will be unloading the container tomorrow (Wednesday) that has the Daytona in it! Hopefully there won't be any strange little surprises! I'm sure all will be cool, though.

As Dale said, John is here and everything is under control so far!! (his flight was even early!) He just went to check into a motel for tonight while driving the Aussie Falcon..
We'll be getting the container cleared tomorrow, and hopefully get it picked up from the docks before too late and get into unloading !
More updates to follow asap

Well all...finally the end (nearly) to a long day...It took me longer then I thought to get the cars cleared by customs (mainly since Customs moved since last time I was there, and had to find thier new location ) So we were not able to unload today..But, the container is being picked up from the docks first thing in the morning, and hopefully by about lunch time we should have the Daytona out on the ground!
Stay tuned for more updates

Kewlness. Sounds like you guys are having a blast. Wish I could have made it out that way.
