Just read these posts and I guess I'd be classified "insane". In '82, when I bought 14482, I was transferred from the San Francisco area to Chicago. I drove her all the way, passing through Rocky Mountain N. P. in June. It snowed up there over 12,000 ft. Then the sun came out and it was fine. No mechanical issues except a failing U-joint on the prop shaft in Minnesota. Just drove on through and had it repaired in Chicago. A few years later I drove her on to Rochester, NY for another transfer. Had the body worked on, new paint, seats, radio, carpet, water pump, etc. The kids learned stick shift in her. Then had her shipped back to CA in '91 for the final transfer. Still own her, occasionally drive her and enjoy her.
