Anyone ever dealt with shipping a car? My dad is looking to send his car, a '55 Chevy, from Minnesota to Buffalo. So far the quotes we’ve been finding have been around $600-700…anyone know of any places to look for. I don’t think he’s too concerned if it’s an open or closed trailer. Thanks, Mike

I have, and used those to get some quotes. But many of the posts are old, and I thought in that amount of time maybe people have had experiences with other transports.

Goddamn, what is so wrong with wanting more up to date information…

Mike, I’ve used Trusty Transport and found them to be pretty good at it. Nikuk suggested them (he’s used them twice) and they were fast and efficient.

Here’s the PM from him, explains it pretty well.

:tup: What are you buying now?

Just be careful who ships it, heard too many horror stories and $700 is kinda steep. I was gonna get a car shipped from a dealer in CA using DAS for $800

Thanks for that Tom. I’m not buying anything, my dad wants to send his '55 Chebby out here for me to do a motor/trans swap (carb/3 speed to EFI/4 speed OD)

Nice.

FWIW, I think NH to NY was @ $450.
