How to store luggage for a 2 week trip in a 66 GT350H
« on: June 06, 2023, 07:23:36 AM »
You fold the back seat down and load it as full as you can 😎
It always amazes people when they see it driven “as a regular car”
Can also drive it in the rain in traffic
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

The convenience of the fold down rear seat. That thing is packed!
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

We use soft sided luggage when traveling with the vintage cars. Easier to make fit in where we want it to be.

Enjoy the trip, we expect pictures along the way  8)

Very helpful and practical information
Thanks for sharing
These cars are meant to be driven so enjoy the hell out of all of it. Not just the look of it when its all cleanCS

When we had a small plane I taught my wife how to pack light. When she got a Volvo with a giant trunk all those lessons went out the window. When she got her 04 Tbird she drew on those skills again. But 2 weeks luggage should always fit in the trunk not overflow into the back seat.

Trunk had spare tire, tool box with spare parts, cleaning supplies, two folding chairs, California duster, emergency kit, jump box,  jumper cables and hydraulic floor jack.. trunk was full :)
