- So I decided to go on a road trip in my 1979 Camaro Z28 which I call the Cursemaro due to it's likelihood of breaking down minutes from the house... because Roadkill! Join us on the journey in this Classic Chevy to Lake Superior in Upper Peninsula Michigan and a couple of other stops in Wisconsin Dells and Phelps which is in the northwoods. Why did we pick the old logging town of Ontonagon, MI as our destination? Still can't answer that one for you... Do we ever find Lake Superior? Does the Cursemaro live up to it's name and leave us stranded? All these questions answered and more!

What is the longest road trip you guys have taken in your classic car or truck?
In the next 2 days I’m going to be going from kenosha Wisconsin to winter Wisconsin which is about 345miles away and 5 1/2 hours in my 95 camaro z/28. I’ve only had the car for 2 months so this is gonna be interesting
@@Zzzzzz-ns7lg I'm guessing you are on your journey now. Stay safe on your road trip. By the way speaking of 4th generation F bodies, I'll be announcing something pretty cool in the next couple episodes.
380 miles 7 hrs drive.. stock
1 1/2 hour drive in a 72' cursecutlass 442
@@TheGrumpyGangster nice! My buddies 1970 cutlass was the first car we restored back in high school. Those are awesome A-bodys.
It's a great feeling when something you have worked on from front to back with your own hands makes that long distances trip with no problems, congrats on the win
Thanks man! I was definitely biting my nails the entire time though. Let's just say a stock 305 is definitely way more reliable than a build up worn out 400... lol
Fun! I can definitely see more road trip videos like this in your future.
For sure they're definitely more fun to shoot then build videos. I actually went up to Galena on my birthday in the Camaro. So hopefully that will be out in the next couple weeks. Thanks for commenting Trish!
Ahh yes.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
of the big lake they call “gitchie gumee”.
Great to see the Z make it back home in one piece.
Nothing beats a road trip with family, friends or even flying solo.
Some people want to see England , or Spain , or Asia. Hell I just wanna see all of this beautiful nation that I live in. Thanks for the awesome video. Excellent editing!!Brings back some great memories of driving up to the Dells area with my family. Way back in the day. Lol
Thanks Bart
Gordon Lightfoot!
No problem Rich, you know this road trip wouldn't have been possible without that 305 that you so generously donated! Thanks again dude!
That was a good road trip, Congratulations on your Power Tour ! That 1972 Camaro at the Car Show, that is all I could see
Thanks man! I know that car was sick! I actually set up a cruise last September called the BCG It's Not Cancelled Tour around Lake Michigan, it was soooo epic! There will be a short teaser in the next video.
@@BustedClassicGarage I look forward to checking it out, and let me know when you get your next tour together, I might Rally!
I drove my 79 Chevy Camaro all the way from Orange County California to Muskegon Michigan
Nice, that's awesome! I plan on hitting a couple of stops on Power Tour this year.
awesome!
Thanks, it was a blast!
Now that's a great experience. Thanks for taking us along. Looked like a great trip.
Yeah it was definitely a good time. I considered changing the name to Cruisemaro but then she started spurting oil a couple months later out of a mystery spot I still can't find... long live the Cursemaro... lmao
Congratulations to you and your car...👍👍
Thank you! I'm glad she didn't let me down on this trip.
Very good. Wait to see more.
Thank you! I have another road trip video I will be uploading in the next couple weeks. After 50 hours of editing of course...
Seeing your vids gives me hope on my 79 rs.
Just discovered some of your videos recently and I have to say that I am really digging them. Mainly because I just dragged a 78 Camaro RS home to Arkansas from Texas and finding a lot of relatable issues that your Camaro has/had. It's challenging me to do projects that are brand new and intimidating to me but I am determined to save this ole girl and get her back to those glory days she once had. Thanks man for some interesting content.
Thanks Bradley! I know it might seem like a long road, but when your Camaro is up and running you are going to have so much fun in it. Thanks for watching and good luck on your project.
Great video !!! Need to take a road trip down to east TENN !!!!!
I've been planning on going to Georgia in the Camaro for quite some time now. I got friends north of Atlanta so I usually cruise through Chattanooga at least once a year but that's the furthest east I've been in Tennessee.
Congrats! Cool trip.
Thanks, I'm glad we made it! Would have been nice to actually see the lake though... lol
Awesome vid dude! You should definately do more road trips
I got you covered on that one because I filmed another road trip a couple months later to a distillery in Galena. Probably going to start editing that one in the next couple days here.
Great video. Once again I can truly relate to it. We've taken many trips from Wisconsin back to the U.P.! Haven't been to superior yet though. Here's an idea...take the lake Superior circle tour. Our Camaro club would definitely join you if you go! And take pictures of what you pack in the small trunk. That's always interesting given the size of the trunk! Have you ever been to Iola Wisconsin's car show and swap meet? Hope to see the cursemaro there someday!
Thanks! The circle tour sound fun. Maybe one day. No, I have not been to that swap yet. I'll have to make my way up there again one of these days.
I'm stoked we're gonna meet up on #HOTRODPOWERTOUR!!! Can't wait to take the Punishtang on a 6,000 mile shakedown lol!
BTW! Your B-Roll and Voiceover work is topps!!!
Thanks Matt! I definitely put in some time on this video. Power Tour is going to be epic! I can't wait to hang out and cruise some two lane blacktop! Stay Stoked!
Damn didn’t know you were so close to michigan
Yeah I'm about 2 hours away from the Indiana-Michigan border, if I drive east rather than north.
I got a 1980 z I’m fixing up. It’s trashed rn. Recked right in the drivers door. But very little rust
Nice! I almost bought a 1980, love the hood scoop on those.
Road trip to Lake Superior. Nice pics of the lake.
LOL Yea, I wish we would of left earlier so we could of actually seen the lake before nightfall.
I@ Busted Classic Garage No worries if you have seen one great lake you have seen them all. Every one of them is just as wet as the other when you drink a little too much and fall in. They are all also cold enough to turn you weenie from an outie to an innie!
@@anthonynelson9136 LMAO!!!!
Man, I hope you guys don't have a problem with valves,, like you just said,, But,, that is one way to do that with your header problem.
From one aspiring car enthusiast to another, is theft a big problem regarding these classic car road trips? I'm contemplating a trip from Alberta to Ontario next year. That's a 30-35 hr. trip or 3195 km. My biggest fear is the idea of booking a night at a motel only for my car to end up gone the next morning. Is it something I should worry about or am I just overreacting?
I think about the same thing every time I go out on a road trip especially when I did power tour 2019. The year prior in 2018 a lot of cars were stolen during the event. A first thing I do before I book any room on any road trip I will look up the area of that motel is in. If it's a very densely populated area I will look at crime maps of that city and see if I'm not going into a bad neighborhood. I did a road trip around lake Michigan in 2020 with my friends and I was planning on staying in Grand Rapids and realized that the place I wanted to stay had crime reports of vehicle theft in recent months. If I do have to stay somewhere very questionable then I will disable the car in some way. For instance pulling the MSD6A Box or pulling 2 spark plugs wires or unhooking your battery. I always say to the person I'm with on the road trip, "good luck troubleshooting to get it started." Lol! They definitely won't be able to hotwire the car and steal it that way, they would have to basically flat bed it out. So yeah man you are definitely not overreacting it is a true fear of a lot of us car guys. But take your precautions and enjoy your trip man!
If you don’t mind me asking. Can you give the location of the junkyard with all the c10s I’m in Illinois and trying to restore a 70 c10

Know how you feel my 79 has a bad heater core no heat
But did u make it back
I sure did, but it was a cold drive back.
Im si scared to take my 81 ttop on interstate. Now you gave me the balls to take off and dont look back
My biggest issue going over 55 was my car would really shake that's why I stayed off the interstate for the longest time. Once I replace the driveshaft the axle shafts, rims and tires ( because the guy before me smashed a curb and bent the axle shafts and rims) my vibration was gone and I felt a lot safer being on the interstate. So as long as you get any issues that you have fixed that are going to keep you from driving at fast speed safely, go for it.

Nope, Barts car! Lol
