Drive 1000 mile bringing new old car back home

I got a deal buying a 318 Duster in Missouri. I'm thinking of buy a plane ticket and drive it back home. Car is good condition, but I never drive 40 year old car that long, its 1000 mile trip, do you think the car can make it in 1 day? I did 1000 mile trip with 99 accord in 1 day before.

Hows 40 years old car respond to such a long trip? Safe to drive old car that far? What do you think?
