Re: {Chrysler 300} Fwd: Easily and Safely Ship your Classic Car on uShip

This may sound a bit goofy, and I wouldn't want to recommend something that might not turn out well for a fellow club member, but here's what I did last year.

I was relocating from MA to TX, and most of my experience in my misspent youth involved driving old cars long distances instead of shipping them (no cell phone, no AAA, etc.- What could possibly go wrong? I had fun driving my first G coupe home from Denver, my Hurst from Detroit, a 62 NYer Wagon from Casper Wyoming, 61 NYer from Whitehall, Montana, 63 Fury from Pensacola, Florida, etc., etc.

Since I was older, and possibly only a little bit wiser, I remembered a couple of times I had stopped at F40 motorsports in CT, just on the off chance I would run into Wayne Carini and/or Roger the mechanic to say 'hi', since I had seen their show Chasing Classic Cars on TV. I decided to call them and explain my situation, reminding them I did not have 'Wayne Carini money' or a priceless Duesenberg or one-of-none Ferrari, but two nice letter cars I wanted to ship in an enclosed trailer, as well as my wife's daily driver that could go open carrier.

They were very friendly and helpful, and suggested I call a company that was based in Sturbridge, MA, and of course to mention that 'Wayne had sent me'.

At the end of the day, it was a husband and wife team that showed up at my house at the agreed upon time, with a 53' enclosed trailer/hauler, and they picked up my G convertible, Hurst, and my wife's PT Cruiser all at once and took them all the way to central TX for less than $6K total and the cars arrived safe and sound and on time. They even allowed for me to have the trunk and back seat areas filled with automotive related items (spare parts and such) which saved me space and $$ I didn't have to spend on an extra moving pod. I called F40 because they were somewhat local to me and I had seen the TV show, but the formula might work if you have a well respected antique car dealership in your area that you could stop in and speak with to get a recommendation? Your mileage may vary, but it worked out for me. Just thought I'd share the story in this thread.

I would not do that. Their “platform” is just an internet brokerage/logistics act. You will never know who actually has the car. Never deal with third parties on a valuable car. Parts car? Lawn tractor, sure. 300 F? Nope. Contract with a shipper, end to end. One with the equipment and personnel who know how to handle antiques.
