You have to bang out a deal , or lettem keep it.

There is no other 74-78 combo that looks as good as that Blue 74 the way its dressed.
It makes a Bandit car look boring.
The only thing missing is a 455 , but its a 12,000 mile time capsule 4spd AC Deluxe Honeycombs.
I'd go look at it if you think you like it.

I agree. If you like that car I'd explore it. Likely can be had for less than asking.

But 71GP76TA's car looks really nice too...

You're not kidding 71GP76TA's red 75 is a beautiful car. He sent me some hi def pics. If that car was on the east cost, id already made a deal at full asking price. Only thing missing for me is AC, but not a deal breaker. I'm still trying to see if logistically a deal might be made. 4800- 5600 to ship in enclosed trailer. That's using our PY member haulers. Ouch!

If I had 2 weeks to leisurely drive back 2800 miles maybe, but don't have that time off

Just to rent uhaul truck and trailer 4k. One way.


Haven't given up on the car.

It's been 3 years, but I had my TA hauled enclosed from Maryland to Oregon for just a pinch over $2000. When I was shopping for shippers, the prices varied quite a bit.

I was new to car shipping so I didn't have a clue how it worked. If you already know this I apologize, but I'll tell you what I found.

There are the bigger shippers that you can find via google. You can contract directly with them and they ship with their own equipment. Some have big fleets of trucks. These are usually big Semi rigs that carry many cars. I found those to be the most expensive and least flexible by far.

Then there are the brokers. These people don't ship anything. They find owner-operators that haul the cars. I don't have all the details, but it works something like this. They post the job on a board and the haulers can view that list and decide if they want to bid on it or take the job for the rate offered by the broker. The thing is that the brokers usually don't tell you that they are brokers. It's a little deceptive. If you ask them they will tell you but they try to avoid that fact because it must turn people off.

The guy that I bought the car from was a collector and he referred me to the broker that he uses. I was a bit nervous about it but it worked out very well. The job got picked up by a hauler with an enclosed two car trailer pulled by a F350. He picked it up on time and delivered it 2 days early in perfect condition so I was happy.

I'll PM you the broker info.

Just make sure his name isn't Kowalski ... or Bandit

I thought about offering the seller a free vacation in NC if he wanted to deliver it. It's only 2800 miles. Lol

Thanks for the PM. I got a 1950.00 quote good ratings 1.2k reviews. They did ask about the weight of original parts coming with the car in the trunk. 100lbs free over that a little more.
