As I recall back in the 80s when I had my insurance agency covering vintage
and classic sports/race cars the firms Passport Transport and Iron Horse
used to transport vintage cars of all values to vintage races all over the
country. Are they still around and what would they charge to ship modern
race cars?

Cory -
As I recall, the Brannon's had a HORROR story about Don shipping their new
Red Devil from MT to Orlando several years ago as 'Car Parts'. Carrier
damaged the crate and had to open it.....jacked the freight bill up to
encompass 'Automobile' and the fee went from about $800 to $3K. I
understand there was additional haggling and eventually the Brannon's were
able to take delivery of the car and all the unassembled pieces.

Since this topic is hot - Don Hanley and I have been working on shipping my
new Red Devil roller from Butte, MT to Memphis, TN. I had a very
preliminary discussion with FedEx Freight about shipping a "crate of car
parts". The prelim estimate that they gave me was around $650. That was
commercial location to commercial location, with no lift required for pick
up or delivery. They will go residential on one end only for a fee, and
send trucks with lifts for an additional fee.
I called them in Dec, so the price was before their most recent
increase.
I also need to get a lot of details straight with them before I'm confident
that I know the true cost. I'm planning to call them again in the next few
weeks and will post again once I have more info.
It really sucks that Consolidated Freight went bust.
