50-year highschool reunion in Pennsylvania, take my car?

My, how time flies.  We're talking a 4k mile round trip to do this (on a trailer I'd guess) and a 4-thousand foot elevation change.  What could happen?

Last year while in Carlisle, I talked about a cross country road trip from home in California to Pennsylvania and back.
The car would make it but at what cost?
The closer to stock, the better in terms of reliability and parts replacement should anything happen during it all.
I am optimistic to a fault though. I often think that most people are nice, most situations will work out. Being this way can sometimes lead me to make plans that go awry because I didn't expect it to be a problem. It makes sense to bring some replacement parts that may not be on the shelves of auto parts stores along the way, I always do that.
You'd be wise to bring an alternator, voltage regulator, some segments of wiring to fix anything that may fail like fusible links or spark plug wires.
