Would any of you care to join me in completing the Peking to Paris rally in the (very) far future?

Never heard of it. So yes.

Driving from Paris to Peking in classical cars.

Sure, give me a few years to score a well-paying engineering career.

Sounds interesting. But first I need to build a suitable car. And then I need to find funding for racing/adventures.

only if we do it in a 1959 buick

I was thinking 1940's Rolls Royce or 1970's Mercedes big if we were on a budget. But 59 Buick sounds awesome.

Will it be in a Cadillac like that?

Same here.

The possibilities are endless. I was thinking 1970's Mercedes or classic Rolls.

Depends on the Vehicle we will be using.

Kinja decided my reply wasn't worthy so here it goes again. Driving from Peking to Paris in a classic car among many other classic cars.

What is your suggestion? I was thinking 40's Rolls or 70's large Mercedes.

You had me at "rally," count me in!

We have a heck of a team! The car, what is your suggestion?

Bandit > My citroen won't start 12/14/2014 at 23:13

Sure, let me graduate first and earn all the money. We can get one of these:

Or a junky and massive 70s land barge:

their definition of Classic is pretty wide... Anything below 1975.

I'd do it in the only acceptable road trip vehicle:

(not specifically in a 72 LTD, but any big american landbarge station wagon)

I want to point out the brass balls of these gentlemens, who completed the 2013 edition in a 1917 LaFrance Tourer (with a 14.5-Litre inline-six):

Was thinking Half-Track or Renault 16TX

Red interior?

My citroen won't start > Twism 12/14/2014 at 23:34

That's actually a good idea, reliable, plenty of muscle and storage room.

My citroen won't start > Bandit 12/14/2014 at 23:35

How about massive 70's station wagon?

shop-teacher > My citroen won't start 12/14/2014 at 23:36

Oh, rally pron!

I could probably be talked into that, but a race-prepped classic Caddy would be a definite yes.

Some members of our team are thinking about a 70's massive station wagon. Is that ok?

Bandit > My citroen won't start 12/14/2014 at 23:37

0

Only if it is this wagon:

MultiplaOrgasms > My citroen won't start 12/14/2014 at 23:38

That and Trophy Truck levels of suspension travel. We'll win the rally because of that alone.

1959 Electra 225, with a 454 dropped in, and a 5-speed manual backing it up!

You've really got my number there. I love love LOVE Oldsmobiles!

stuttgartobsessed > My citroen won't start 12/14/2014 at 23:56

YES. I'd do it in just about anything. A Roller Sounds nice though. As does a Packard. A Buick Roadmaster would be nice as well.

How about an Olds Vista Cruiser?

Dusty Ventures > My citroen won't start 12/15/2014 at 00:01

If I thought they'd let us get away with it I'd say an old Group 6 Baja car, like the Edsel

However, barring that (and I suspect they would bar it), I think a Fabulous Hudson Hornet would be an absolute joy. (I originally thought of the Citroen DS, but that would only work if it were the "Peking to China/Mongolia border" rally)

Can we put a 442 and a Hurst 4 speed in it? And give it a mild lift (1") and run WRC Dirt tires? And give it Hurst Livery?

It would also be fun to do it in something without a roof.

My citroen won't start > stuttgartobsessed 12/15/2014 at 00:09

Yes yes and yes.

I've only found one problem with this: It looks like they are not allowing "estate cars" in 2016... buuuuuuuuuut 2016 is all full. Rules might change in the future.
