We plan to do it in one day. Last year we DID have breakdowns.... Jim ("The Recorder") started spraying coolant and we stopped for 20 minutes to move and tighten the upper radiator hose, and later I broke one of the 6 metal fuel injector lines and started spraying fuel. We were on the side of the road for about an hour and a half while I repaired it. We also stopped twice for fuel a few more times for leg stretches and lunch. It took us around 10 hours with breakdowns and a leisurely pace..... So I figure about 8 hours if we had no problems.

It's really not bad driving that far in a deuce, we had a great time and decided to make it an annual tradition. Certainly the East Coast Convoy participants always have a good time. Personally I would recommend having a spring driver's seat.... It will spare your back. I used to have a sore back after only an hour or so in the deuce, but I installed a spring seat right before last year's convoy and I couldn't believe the huge difference it made.
