[QUOTE="Lambeau, post: 17031368, member: 105189"] Thanks! Great video of their 1978, 22k mile trip. Five CJ’s, and a Cherokee (for support?) from Argentina to Alaska. Fun watch for sure. I’ve read several places that only two teams have successfully crossed the Darien Gap. The American team in the video above, and a British team ‘72. What a rabbit hole this turns out to be - lol. Then there’s this noted American Corvette dealer from Illinois, Dick Doane. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_5410.jpeg"]1835606[/ATTACH] Seen here with Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_5411.jpeg"]1835605[/ATTACH] Back in 1960, Dick sponsored a team to cross the Gap with 3 red Corvairs, just released, and 2 Suburbans and a fuel truck (Suburban?). They started in Illinois and headed south to the Gap.
