I drove a 72 Monte Carlo (all stock) that I just bought from Wa to Ca (1,000) miles without stopping. Not a single problem. I was young and dumb(er) then. I didn't have any real tools or supplies.

I'd change all the fluids, check your brakes/hoses/belts, and do a general look over of everything else. Make yourself up a nice repair kit and have some supplies (water/food/blankets/first aid).
