Forgive the poor writing. I meant to say I could NOT have driven for less than that. Sorry.

I bought my first F5 this time last year and it was located in Wisconsin and I am NW Washington. Needless to say I was not in a position to go get it. After a tremendous (and I mean tremendous) amount of research into shipping options I found the average cost to ship the car in a crate was roughly $2,500 plus the cost to have a crate built (another $800 or so) - ouch. Once I got past the initial shock of this reality I remembered that I had a business acquaintance who happened to own a UPS Store franchise. I called him and explained what I needed to have shipped and asked if he could please find a less expensive option. He did. First of all DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES used the words RACE CAR when discussing shipping and prices. Remember, if it flies, floats or f*%#s it's going to cost a lot more. I told him I was shipping race car "replica" used for hobby purposes. I know, I know it's almost the complete truth. Anyway, he was able to get it on a vehicle transport truck and had it picked up and dropped off door to door within about a week. The cost was only $1,000. If you do the math I could drive round trip for less than in fuel/lodging costs not to mention my time. If you can't find anyone in your neck of the woods to make similar arrangements I can ask my guy for a contact near you who may be able to make arrangements. Good luck! Sean Sean G.

I've been on the mailing list for a long time now, but just reading. So... what's the best way to get a F500 that's in Texas all the way to Northern California? I was a thinking about a big box and Federal Express. How about UPS? Seriously though, is anyone headed in this direction or towards California anytime soon with room in a trailer? I thought I'd ask before arranging shipping. Thanks in advance, George monkey nuggets racing > It has been sold. > > On Thu Jan 4 17:05 , 'edward capullo' <ecapullo at hotmail.com> sent: > > >...
