So this adventure really began as my old rusted out 1991 Laurel Blue sedan. Then a buddy and I were searching for some pictures of a wagon roof rack and found this rediculous wagon on Craigslist.org, listed in Portland, OR. After my buddy read the list of parts it had and the price that was being asked, it was pretty much a done deal. I got a hold of the guy, scheduled to look at it on Saturday morning. I picked up my buddy at about 1am on Saturday morning and we arrived in Portland, OR at 8:30am. We went to meet the guy with the car took it on a test drive, bought it and were out of Portland, OR by 9:30am and back on the highway headed home. It was an extremely long day as we drove both the cars all the way home the same day. We only made a single pit stop for about 45 minutes on the way home. The only other stops were for gas.
This vehicle was built for a specific adventure, with plans for other uses later in time. That adventure is the Montana/Wyoming Gambler 500 2019 event. If you don't know much about what this is, I highly recomend looking into it. It's a weekend of mostly off roading with crappy cars in the woods/mountains of your local area. This year the event is taking place in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming.
