Subject: Transporting a non operative vehicle. by TommyT-Bone on 2010/9/26 3:08:07 My deceased brothers ex text me that I was welcome to his Porsche 928. The car has been sitting for years. He had it running 4 1/2 years ago and was working on it to get it street worthy just before he died. The car is garaged in Boston and I'm in South Florida. The mission is to get the car from there to here. I can drive up, rent a trailer and drive back. That's the least desirable option because that would take about a week and probably cost about $1500 in fuel, lodging and food. Another option is to fly round trip, somehow get it loaded on a transporter and ship it to my door. Guestimate $1200 shipping, plus expenses for food, lodging and transportation for several days there. That would take about 4 days. Are there shippers that will load and transport a non-operational car? Any way I look at it, it looks to be an expensive proposition. So, I'm appealing to the brain trust of Corvette-Guru. What's a brutha to do? I'm open to any suggestions. I know to get it running will probably cost more than the car is worth but it's a thing between brothers. Driving time 25 hours 1 way. 1530 miles. That'a a hell of a road trip. Last time I did it I swore I'd never do it again. I always fly and rent a car. Something is more appealing about having breakfast in Miami and lunch in Boston. |
