Going Coast-Coast in a '76 Firebird!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Good afternoon all!

I'm doing a cross country trip in my '76 Firebird this June for my honeymoon. Starting in Stanwood WA and finishing in Woburn MA. We'll be hitting going to the sun road as well as Glacier national park, Arches, Yellowstone, Devils Tower, the Badlands and Niagara Falls among many other little stops along the way!

I'm putting this out there because I've been having many conversations about this trip with Shaker455 on how to plan with major elevation changes with a carbed car and dealing with my oil consumption issues which new valve seals seems to have cleaned up a bit. He recommend that I try to set up some ditch points anyone who'd be willing to offer it on PY! He's already given me a few recommendations but the more the merrier in my opinion.

If anyone's interested please reach out in PM and I'll send more information about my trip with more specific routes but I stay primarily along i90 with detours as far south as Salt Lake and as far north as the Upper Peninsula.

Any helps appreciated! This will be the trip of a lifetime for sure!

I have property in UP of Michigan. Presently vacant, but on a secluded lake. Nice place to siesta if you have a tent.

Wave when you drive through Sioux Falls, SD if you're still on I-90 at that point!

Don't go thru Chicago on I90. It's a mess, they are rebuilding the whole thing. There is a I294 bypass but they are rebuilding that too but it might be less of a mess. The South end of I90 is not very "friendly" also.

I'm 40 miles north of Albany, NY (I-90 goes right through Albany on your way to Massachusetts).

Keep me posted if you like

Reclining seats would be a thought.
Have a great time !! Take lots of pictures!
