Also Intercity Lines and FedEx CustomCritical (used to be Passport Transport).

As I've posted before, DO NOT use a "broker" under any circumstances; they'll pick whoever can net them the best profit, and you won't know who will show up to pick up your car until they get there, usually Ronny Redneck and his Rusty Old Rig.

I just used Rich. He's an owner/operator who knows how to baby your car. He's a Cobra nut and loves all the classics including our Corvettes, he doesn't stack cars and he is fully insured.

He doesn't drop the cars off at a central shipping terminal in Dallas or Denver, usually ships door to door and he has a cool website.

Plus, when your car arrives it won't have 200 more miles on it, smell of perfume and have an empty tank of gas.

He's not the cheapest, but he'll baby your car as if it were his own. He knows how to strap cars down, too, by using padding around the straps. Plus he stays way from brake lines, etc. The little extra you might pay him will be money saved in the long run on from lack of damage to your car when you ship it.

yes, I have the fever so bad.

If you guys think I actually own these cars outright.... you are fooled

I am more in debt than you could EVER imagine......

but hey, you only live once..... LIVE LARGE! hence my sig... "livin"

The corvetteinvestor's cash investment in the restoration of my 57, has free'd up a little equity. I was guilty of looking.... which led me to trouble.......

I will give a full report soon. I promise!

as soon as I get a call verifying the ORIGINAL title delivery, I will spill the beans!!!
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it........... Ima going lose control, and I think I like it.
