Y'all heard of this? Take a non-modern vehicle and drive from Peking to Paris?

There are so many questions about the logistics of this event. As bucket list items go for a gear head, this has got to be in a bucket people don't usually consider.

What say you?

A lifted crown Vic would be perfect for this.

Is this like a 24 Hours of LeMons race?


It has potential

Better not try a US or western Europe passport. There is no route that doesn't go through Russia or Iran.

I looked through the photo albums. This is a cool event that I would love to participate in. This org does rallies all over the world. That said, the target participants for these events look like European snobs with too much time and money on their hands. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot to spare of either.

I didn't notice the ferry portion that avoids Russia.

Getting detained for days by Chinese authorities does not sound like a fun time!

And breaking a strut.

And having a head gasket blow?

What happens if you call AAA road hazard assistance from Azerbaijan?

I would love to do this in a Saab 92 or 93. My other option would be a Volvo P1800.
