Default I ran into this at the gas station this morning...
1964 Chevy with a late model LS truck motor and a 4Le60 trans pulling a vintage caper trailer.
Didnt know if he was a member or not but I had to take pics and talk to the guy for a few minutes.
Got married, drove it to California and were on there way back to Michigan
Coolest thing I have seen in awhile...

Interesting...Lol! Hopefully one day he can do a complete restoration but the fact that another old car is on the road and hasn't been crushed is cool.

I'd be wearing of towing anything THAT far with a 4L60e assuming its stock.

The guy had no issues except for a leaking trans line
Averaged about 14mpg the whole trip

Love it. I'm trying to figure out who to put a set of telescoping trailer mirrors in the place of my vent windows on my wagon.
