[FWDLK] (re-)introduction: 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer D500 4-door



Hi there,
 
 
I'm 45 years of age, maried with three lovely daugthers.
I live in The Neterlands, Europe. My hometown is Apeldoorn, see for yourself:
and
http://www.vvvveluwe.nl/ (dutch language only...).
 
I've been on this list before, even several times. And still have some contacts.
I just never succeeded in getting my own '56 Dodge, çause thta's what I want ever since I owned one 25 years ago.
 
Now it seems I've finally got her. Just won an auction on the Internet:
a 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer D500!!!.., not a 2-door, but who cares? Almost nobody knows the difference over here!
She's located in Bremerton, Washington.
 
I still have to check with the VIN#, engine# and the info on the data plate. But after everyting is okay, I will pay the $ 500 deposit and probably pick her up myself.
That might sound easy to you, but it sure isn't: I live in The Netherlands, Europe.
Happily flying is cheaper these days: for about $ 300 I'm there.
 
She needs a little work (that is: i hope just a little...), anyway the brakes and exhaust needs to be done. And I want the wide white wall tires mounted. I would like to have this done in the States, before I come to pick her up.
I would really appriciate some advice on this.
 
And then offcourse, she needs to be shipped to The Netherlands.
I thought there are two possibilities:
1. ship directly from the Washington state;
2. drive her east and ship anywhere from the eastcoast.
 
Driving her would be nice, a sort of vacation to (hopefully) always remember. But also risky, since you never know what might happen during such a long trip. Shipping from the eastcoast will be less expensive.
Shipping from the westcoast seems like the easiest to do, but I do not yet know anything about costs.
Can anybody give me a hint on how to find out about shipping?
 
Well, so far for now, I "look forward" to your reply!
 
 
Sincerely,
 
JIm Hoekendijk,
The Netherlands.
