Looks like a great trip. Had a question about the cars. How many of them were just stock cars without any Mitchel transmission or similar ******?

Most of the cars have higher compression heads, Brumfield or Lion, 2 or 3 have OHV.

I think all cars have some type of overdrive.

One has a Mitchell Transmission, and another has a V-8 Transmission.

Two or three with electronic ignition, most were stock.

Mostly stock Zenith Carbs, few had Weber or Stromberg.

Thanks Bob. With the roads you all took, I can see why they were mostly upgraded for a trip like this.
