Does any one know the new Route numbers that will include all or as much of the old Route 66 as possible?

Route 66 ROUGHLY parallels Interstate 40, and you will see signs indicating Historic Highway 66. In Oklahoma it starts to parallel Interstate 44, and from St. Louis it meanders up to Chicago.
There are several sites on the internet dedicated to traveling the old route 66. Of course, it has been decommissioned as a a highway, but bits and pieces of it remain.

There is actually a Historic 66 website that can tell you where to get on and off, and which parts don't exist or aren't even paved road anymore. I just drove from CA to IL and followed a good portion of 66. However, I would stay off of the segment between Oatman and Topock, AZ , especially in winter, as it is EXTREMELY steep and hazardous. I'm not sure what the name of the website is, but you can just do a search and I'm sure you'll find it...the one I saw has turn by turn directions.

Very little of Route 66 survives. Sorry to disappoint.

Going across Nebraska on U.S. 80 (and you go, and go, and go across Neb.) you can literally see 66 just to north. In many instances the little towns that it runs through are close enough to 80 so that you can drive over and get gas a bit cheaper.
At one time, before the freeways, those little towns were prosperous as they fed off the rich traffic that passed through. Now the motels that once served those passers by are rundown or abandoned, and the towns themselves have have slipped into peaceful economic slumber.
If you follow 66, there are so many of this little places with their 25 MPH signs that you will have plenty of opportunity to observe their character, but you my find it a poor trade off for the speed and comfort of the freeway that you can see.
And please keep in mind the fact that every one of those little towns has three things: one or two bored cops with at radar gun, a need for revenue and a disregard for out-of-state tourists. I might better add that there is certain to be some store owner-*** Justice of the Peace whose notion of maintaining the peace is to fine the hell outta Hoosiers, $50.00 of which, by law, falls to him.
But you may enjoy it immensely
