What tools and misc. items would I need to buy for a 1760 mile roadtrip
from Auburn, CA to Fort Worth, TX?  It is a '63 Monza Convt. PG that has
been completely restored and has less than 200 miles on the rebuilt
engine. 

Just take a fan belt and tools needed to change it. Some take a fuel pump as 
they are hard to find if you need one. I have done two 2000+ mile trips this 
summer and only problem was a cracked distributor cap and found one at the 
first FLAPS I stopped at after I found the problem. Only tools I take are screw 
drivers,1/2" 9/16" combo off set box end wrench, plus a short half and 9/16 open 
end.
First trip was when I bought the car from Mark art Southwest Corvairs sight 
unseen and flew in, hopped in the car (not even a test drive) and drove home. 
It still has the same fan belt on it with 4 autocrosses and the trip to Salt 
Lake City. And this is in a 65 Turbo.
