I purchased this car just three weeks in advance of the run — which starts Tuesday in Texas. Bought at a collector car auction in Branson, MO. the owner of the auction Jim Cox of Cox Auction has been a hero in getting this car ready for a long trip. I’ll detail some of the repairs soon. The AUTOMOBILE magazine/Cars That Matter Trans AM hits the road later today.
It’s eyes wide open for all of us as we are aware we are about to drive over 1,000 miles in an untested 28 year old used car — but isn’t that what adventure is all about?
