I drove my ’63 Comet convertible down to Puerto Penasco in ’96. We took the Wagoneer to do a little four-wheeling outside San Felipe in ’98. We got stopped a couple times a day and searched by the Federales who were mostly looking for drugs and guns. We had no real problem just inconvenience and uneasiness. I never saw a vehicle that would be worth bringing back. There was some neat stuff like Ford F200s and Nissan Patrols, but vehicle maintenance appeared pretty primitive, and stuff just didn’t age well at all.
We did see an old hand-pump, visible-globe gas pump being used in earnest at one remote station. That was neat.
