Looking for Auto Transport recommendations
 

I'm looking to transport a 69 Chevelle from Albuquerque to Northern Ohio. If anyone has any recommendations for a reliable auto transporter, I'd appreciate the information. Open carrier is sufficient for this haul.

Thanks.

I have used "Blue Highways" and have been pleased. Here is their website....

Phil,

Be advised as the winter months approach (or so I am told) that even tho you may not be concerned with covering your car in transport because it needs to be restored, you should consider the block possibly freezing and possibly cracking.

Sam,

Thank you for the advice. I see you haven't forgotten about the climate north of PHX. I asked the seller to check the coolant to see if it has the proper protection.

I may even run out to check the car myself before it is shipped.

I had an elCamino shipped to me about 6 years ago, California to Ohio, during the month of November. It took two weeks and the trucker went through two major snow storms, I was a little restless to say the least. It made it just fine though.

I'll check with Blue Highways tomorrow.

Thank you for the responses.

Phil Woj.

Mike,

If it ran, it would definitely be road trip time. Yes, I would buy the gas and beer.

Woj...Did you come up with anything? I am looking at getting a roller hauled from San Fransisco to Michigan. Mabey we could get a package deal or something? I have a quote from Demois..1600 plus a little extra for non running status.

i shipped a Chevelle to Lake Arrowhead ca a few years ago,and the buyer had Fed Ex Custom Critical pick it up.
at that time,the driver said it cost $1500 for immediate delivery.it was a Kenworth with a 24 foot box.

Tony,

I haven't come up with a transporter yet. I'm giving a local broker a few more days and then I'm on to the next one. I am interested in what you are doing. I wouldn't mind driving up to MI to pick up my car.

Let me know if you find something that works for you.

Thanks Phil. I discovered the seller in Cal was a whole lot less than truthful, so I won't be buying his car. I did buy one in MO though and passport is going to haul it for me. They were 2-3 hundred less than most of the other guys.
I just got an email from Fred at Concours. He has a truck out west with room for 2 cars. May be worth a shot to give him a call. Thurs pickup with Dec 20 drop dates.

Gents,

Thanks for all the recommendations. I went through a local broker and he set me up with "Hot Rod Transport" (330) 201-6154, out of Orrville, Ohio. The price was reasonable and service excellent. Car was shipped from Albuquerque to Cleveland and took only three days. I'd recommend them.
