I have completed several long journeys overseas in my vintage car. These include Argentina, Chile, the USA (Route 66) and Peking to Paris via Siberia...etc.etc.
I wish to drive from New York (USA) to Buenos Aires by road. How easy is it getting through Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Panama? Is there a ferry from Panama to Ecuadaor to avoid Columbia?

Are there any serious difficulties crossing borders in Central America?
