From my past experiences, I wouldn't hesitate to jump in the 914-6 I purchased back in 1977 and drive it across country. Of course, I've owned it and maintained it for all these years, so I know it inside out. Only had to have it towed once in all those years, and it was a minor problem, but dark and raining so I didn't want to deal with it myself.
Now, I don't want to think how my body would feel after that long of a drive, but the car would do fine. A friend of mine drove his 1972 911 from Chicago to the last Rennsport Reunion and back by himself just after an engine rebuild last year. These cars do wear out, but don't break down that often. Go and enjoy the drive! |
