located in Mcminnville OR -also this seller keeps deleting his ad after a day or so to repost it so it appears to be more “recent” on the Craigslist pages. I will stop updating the link at some point because this is stupid and a huge waste of time.
Day 6 of Microcars on Route 66.
A rather deserted stretch of old Route 66. But they are almost to Adrian Texas, the half-way point
as long as that storm does not eat them up. All cars are back on the road as of today.
You can follow them on their Facebook page HERE, or check back on this blog to see a daily recap.
This video documents the Microcars on Route 66 Rally as it starts from Santa Monica Pier in California.
note that the Red Goggomobil Coupe with Dave Raab driving is NOT on the trip, he was just there to help send them off.
They started at 7:30am August 8 PST. Seven Eight Microcars will travel 2448 miles along Route 66 from Santa Monica Pier in California to Chicago IL over the next 2 weeks.
You can follow them on their Facebook page HERE, or check back on this blog to see a daily recap.
2 vehicles came from Germany just to do this trip (the Goggomobil Transporter Pickup and the Goggomobil sedan).
The vehicles are (as pictured above) 3 Vespa 400’s, Goggmobil Transporter, Goggomobil Sedan, BMW Isetta, FIAT 500.
There is supposed to be some sort of Map feature on the Facebook page that take the GPS-tagged photos and allows you to track where they are at any time (at least when the photos were taken), but I can’t find any evidence of that at the moment.
1972 Fiat 500 $9500
1959 Fiat 500 with US spec Bugeye headlamps $10,500
