[willie]

I have to say, i tip my hat to you guys that drive any distance. I am not one of you!!!!

[cny first gen 71]

Drove mine to Carlisle a few times and one year I drove to Norwalk Ohio around 8 hours or so, didn't have to get tool box out either. Last year when I trailered to Carlisle I had to get the tool box out for minor repair.

The first time the ever drove my 71 SS was the longest I ever drove it. 110 miles around the outer loop on Cincinnati.

I’ve done a few 2,000 mile round trips for Western Meets over the years.

I know of 5 members that have driven 2,500-2,800 mile round trips for Western Meets too.

There’s always a good challenge for the Long Distance Award at Western Meets.

That's a good haul.

Its roughly 2k mile round trip to Carlisle (910 each way) when we go, but the direct to Carlisle number is usually skewed because we often incorporate side trips. When we drove to Somerset (739 miles each way) two years ago, we went via Johnson City to see friends for a few days.

I want to say our longest day time-wise was Philly to Palm Coast via Annapolis and on to Richmond, all back roads. The trip was roughly 18 hours travel time, including stops for food and gas and rest. It was that trip that prompted me to take the stock buckets out and replace them with modern ProCar scat 90's. Linda and I were in pain the whole next day. 

The best part of owning the Monte, besides being able to fix everything on the car, is driving it. Driving it with the confidence that it will get me where I want to go. (mostly)😉

For sure. You can work on them .as well as hitting the roads and enjoying it.

Ole Red has been to Carlisle at lest three times, Hiwassee Ga. Somerset KY and going again, Norwalk OH, Des Plains IL and all over Indiana and into Ohio before I went to Dayton two years ago. Carlisle is by far the longest trip

Nice cruise.  I would give it up to .lol. hopefully she was ok. Went myself once down the slope. Took every one out down below. Like a bowling ball  ...that was enough for me.
