The car is shipped to Florida

Today's a big milestone. Today is the day they picked up #1283 to be transported to SEO Motorsports in Florida. I had chosen an enclosed transporter and when they called ahead they said the trailer was 50+ feet long so forget pick-up outside the garage. I knew we were gonna have to push the car out to a more major street a block down the road. So we did.


On the lift and about to be packed in with a few exotics

Yes, the underside of the engine cradle was severly banged up by the Previous Owner. Ed will cut out the tangled skid plate and weld on a new stainless steel plate instead. It will be functional and look nice too.



... and off she goes.

I know a lot of people on dmctalk have had bad experiences with brokerage firms. Of course, you gotta do your homework but the one I selected - easycarmove.com - turned out great for me:

• The terms of the agreements were explained up front; all the "gotchas" I had been told to look out for were addressed and totally fair
• The shipping process was well explained and defined
• The price was reasonable
• The trucker was assigned once I had committed and contacted me promptly
• The transport time was amazingly short: Pick up Thursday afternoon in north Texas, drop off Saturday morning in Florida less than 48 hours later
• What I appreciated the most: The trucker and his assistent were courteous, professional and took their time inspecting and carefully securing car before they took off.
