  • The final push for home commences in the 1962 Mercedes L319D Van. Battling whatever Mother Nature can dish out, the Van and its crew will not be deterred. The smooth and steady journey from Los Angeles to Crescent City is now in the rear view mirror. What awaits on the last day will test both machine and man. Both will have to work together in order to have a chance at making it back home.

      Thanks for your comment. I would love to get in touch with you and perhaps see some photos of your O319. Is yours diesel or petrol? Let me know your contact info as I'd enjoy getting in touch.

      Thanks so much for watching and your comment. Bodi is a real champ and did so well. We're tracking down a new Heater Core as we speak. We're excited to share this vintage van with others. #KeepDriving !
