Cross-Country Road Trip in a '68 Barracuda

I bought my one owner 67 notch at ebay. Owner lived in Sammamish Washington. His story... In 1992, he removed nearly all the trim and badges at home, prepped the body, then drove it to a brother-in-law somewhere in New Mexico for fresh red paint. On return trip the master cylinder failed. Of course he got brake fluid on the fresh paint. His partial palm print remains on top of left fender to this day. You never know what you might need. You can't take a 2nd everything.
My story.. In 2006, I rode 4 different size planes to get there. My return drive began at Walmart. I bought the most complete emergency road side kit they had (42 dollars I think).
I could have taken a less direct route to visit here and there but that wasn't my goal. Trip clock in speedo showed 2854 miles to Easley SC in 3.5 days. A lot of coffee and gasoline. The one thing that I really wished I had was cruise control.
I opened that road side kit once, about a week afterwards, to add a note pad, a pencil, and a tape measure.
I wouldn't put air shocks under it. They can break the upper shock mounts. A set of half leaf helper springs are better, easier installed and removed too. I put them under our first B'cuda many years ago to haul 3 passengers, trunk full of luggage, and my brothers boat to a fishing tournament about 400 miles away. I liked the slightly higher stance, so I never removed them.
Be careful. Good luck
