Yeah, Lincoln is a solid 7.5 hours for me at 65-70. 10-12 hours on I29 would put anyone to sleep.

3 days ?? Leave at 6 pm the night before, get there early, nap for a while in the truck, walk the swap, load any treasures I buy and beat feet home by 12 pm...
Actually, I'm starting to get a little on the grey side for those hours anymore, but, I'd still try it. 5 yrs ago, I drove straight thru from San Antonio home and 4 yrs ago, from Ocala straight home. That same yr, I drove to Buffalo, NY and back in 42 hours for an NOS Camaro fender.
LOL...Mitch,is this you?

No pills, but I've always had cars to play with and one of the first Aurora road race sets in the early 60's.

Tagged these at the Portland swap a couple weeks back. The sellers were carrying them in while we were buying our tickets.....quick eyes by my buddy and voila, they're mine!

----That is a great score! D's are becoming harder and harder to find at any sort of reasonable price. I have 1 set of 6's, 1 set of 6's and 7's, and another pair of 7's. All are restored to out of the box new. I have the mixed set on my 67 with Blue Streaks and they look really cool. If you use 7.75 bias ply's on 7's they will clear the rear fenders without a problem. The 4 7's I have have a 1/2 inch difference on each side.....Bill S

Good to see my old thread coming to the top again. I remember setting up at Jefferson 30 plus years ago with standing water in my space. That was fun....
