Re: [Chrysler300] Cruising west to White Sands

Road Warrior Story. left SF Bay area in 63 Sport on Monday early. Taking the Grapevine pass, digital gage tells of 254 degrees!!!!

Talk about Chrysler's being a HOT car.......Half way up found a radiator shop that was willing to remove the thermostat, a fix from a year ago when the old one stuck full on and AAA'd it home. Still in 250's near the summit so AAA'd to motel and rest. Drive in commute traffic to Pasadena in morning and had the radiator rodded. Now way behind so drove straight to Tucson with ambient air 105, speeds to 75, grades in desert, a/c on full and seldom saw more than 222 degrees. Think we are good to go. Bad weather ahead, hope wipers still work.

Day 2 - great cruising - cool, foggy, drizzly morning in OK. Sun finally appeared this afternoon; warmed up to 90; John's top came down. Amarillo to Alamagordo in the morning.

Had an eventful day today. Made it to Effingham as my generator died. Stopped by Spanky's, pulled it and took it his local rebuilder, reinstalled it and back on the road. While waiting for the rebuild, Spanky took us to a local Mopar muscle restorer buddy of his - great cache of mid- to late-60s iron. In mid-Missouri tonight with John Begian. Also met up with Michael and Linda Burke this morning. Targeting Amarillo tomorrow.

Hello group,

On Monday morning, John Begian, in his G, and I will be meeting in Effingham, IL, and heading west in our 300s toward White Sands. Anyone else cruising westbound in their 300s to the Meet?
