[DeTomaso] Anyone have a car hauler heading to the east coast???

Be very careful about using the word "Survivor". That is a registered
trademark of Bloomington Gold and can only be applied to Corvettes that they
have certified as "Survivors". We don't want anyone to get sued here.

As far as my car hauler - it is only 300 miles off the right coast and it is
an open trailer. I suspect you are looking for an enclosed trailer that is a
bunch closer to the left coast.

My co-driver paid DAS $600 each (Terminal to terminal) to have his Corollas
shipped from LA to Atlanta. Only damage was one bent exhaust where the
muffler snagged while they were backing the car off the transport.

Ron asked what car we were moving east...

We were moving a 1969 428CJ Cougar Eliminator to a new owner in MD. Original
R-code survior! (R-code=Ram Air 428 Cobra Jet)

Driver finally showed up about 3hrs late on Sunday.....says that he got held
up in a weigh station or some crap.....didn't even know they were open on
Sundays!!!  

I was going to ask for a business card, so I could make sure that I never
hire the guy.......!!!!!    In this case, thankfully I did not hire
him....just had to be present to see the car off......and the car was 2.5
hours away from home, so not a trivial thing to miss an appointment! 

Anyway, the guy's name is Ben and he lives up in Redding.  Has an open
trailer and was charging $1300 to move this car to MD.  I thought it was a
tad high for an open trailer....and it was CERTAINLY high for someone that
doesn't know how to return phone calls etc.....but that could be par normal
for car haulers....

Next is to move (sell) a 1969 Torino Talladega, and two BD-5 airplane kits!
Someone needs some playground equipment right?  A whirly-bird two airplane
ride thing in your backyard would be the talk of the neighborhood!!!

Ciao!
Steve
