    Reading the story of the swedish hot rodders buying a car on eBay and driving it all over the USA has inspired me to post my own write-up on buying a Chrysler 300 at the Pomona swap meet in October 2000 and driving it to Houston and back:

    I could copy and paste the whole thing, but will just post the link to the write-up and photos for now:

    I would do this again anytime!

    Cheers,

  3. very cool. how is the car holding up?
     
  4. The old car did even better than you thought seeing that it actually 44 years old rather than 34. Sounds like a really cool trip, congrats.
