Default Soon to be adventure in my 930

I'm planning a long drive in my 930 in July. Going from Northern Idaho to Southern California . . . about 1200 miles. Hoping to do it over three days, so I won't be in any hurry. I'd like to know what are the recommended 'spares' to carry with me . . . just in case. The car is in great condition, but has never been on a long drive like this over several days.

I should also add this is a 1978 930 and it is factory original stock.

Are there any known electrical issues?

Any mechanical issues that I should prepare for?

Thanks for all feedback.

Make sure your A/C is charged, you have good radar detector and your alarm system is working well (Lojack not a bad idea either. ;-)

Bring a spare relay or two. Also you might do a search on the fuse circuit for the fuel pumps as they can cause intermittent problems as the fuseholders age. A spare fanbelt for the cooling fan is a good idea; make sure you know how to change and adjust the tension with the shims. Ditto on the radar detector! Other than that, they are great, reliable cars.

Got your AAA card?? With a well maintained car, it seems its the little things like tires and batteries that give you heartburn.
