Trying to make a rational decision on getting my new 70 yellow 914. I live in Gautier Mississippi (no snow zone) car is in Seattle Washington area. I am going to try and get the car during the thanksgiving holiday. Lots of extra parts and an engine set of wheels & tires whole interior. So I plan on towing car on dolly behind My 94 Explorer 2WD.
Who thinks this is a bad idea? I know you guys in the PAC NORWEST should have the best advice. I am not familiar with the roads But, I would assume there is a mountain range somewhere I will have to cross. SNOW SUCKS!!!! I could sell all parts to you PAC NORWEST guys and then have shipper tear up my car for me. Really not my 1st choice. |

Ive bought and shipped two cars (both Audi S-cars) one from MN the other from main. closed transporter one with an extra set of wheels. The Mn shipp cost about $1100 the Main shippment cost almost $1400.
Id think twice on the trip we dont snow till nearer feb-march but itll be cold wet and icey if you come/go over the passes. |
