Awesome. Thanks. Is there any other car ever built that one can get so sentimental about?

I've seen it but it is a great movie. Worth a watch for sure.

Everyone here should watch this. I think I saw that car on display in 1967...

Great film, what adventures. Would anyone try that today? Today's cars are incredibly reliable but just one of the multitude of sensors failing could strand you.

@KNS - agreed about the high tech sensors et al. stranding you, but also the geo-political realities of today vs. 1960 would give me pause...
