I'll soon be trailering our 356 chassis to my home garage so that I can work on it in earnest. Our route will be from Missouri to California, mainly along interstate 40. We'll be stopping at Ollies and California Motorsports (CMS) in Lake Havasu City to drop off our 914-6 engine and transmission.
Any Porsche stops, or even general cool car stuff, along the way we should make a point to see? I guess we'll go right by Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo. That's about all I'm seeing that isn't a major detour. Our route doesn't take us through LA (i.e. Petersen Automotive Museum). Any safety or sanity suggestions for driving a box truck and trailer half way across the country welcome as well. Done it a couple times. Can't say it's ever been what I'd call fun. Will have a good co-pilot, so that will help.  "Pull a Trailer" and PaT are trademarks of DennisV. All rights reserved. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

This little gem is in Sapulpa, outside of Tulsa... https://www.heartofroute66.org/
If you're up for the 'slow road', the original Route 66 is still a state highway between Tulsa and OKC. Takes about an hour longer than driving on I-44, but no tolls, and you can stop at Sonic in Chandler for a coke. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) The 21C Hotel in Oklahoma City is a neat bit of auto-related history, as it is in a historic building that was originally a Ford assembly plant that built Model Ts. Bit pricey but nice hotel that doubles as an art museum. Let me know if you stay - the architecture firm I work for offices in the west end of the building. https://www.21cmuseumhotels.com/oklahomacity/ |
