I ferried this Luscombe 8A (with a A65) from WI down to TN a few weeks ago. It was restored and owned by the late "Mr. Wag-Aero" (Dick Wagner) and was in pretty good shape. It had two 12 gallon wing tanks in it and only burned 4.5gph so it had some range. I was able to make the 500nm trip in two legs (long...uncomfortable legs) with over an hour reserve at each stop.

Warp Speeeeeeeeed
About 20 minutes into the first 3 hour leg...this started to suck.
The one and only gas stop in Casey, IL
Counting down the minutes to get out of this thing and storm randomly pops up and starts growing fast between the airport and I 20 minutes out - ForeFlight proving its worth today. The storm made the 3 hour leg into a 4 hour leg...in a Luscombe. Im still sore I think. Haha
Happy new owner!
