Anyone here have the resources/means to do it? Anyone have a recommendation for a good hauling company that doesn't want 3 paychecks worth to do it?
Trying to get it done between now and beginning of December when I move back to WA from Fort Riley. Car doesn't run, but she rolls, steers, and stops fine. Total distance is about 1800 miles. Any help/input is greatly appreciated! |

Try the people at www.safecarautotransport.com. Ask for Greg and tell him Rob from 914 World recommended them. Greg is a great guy to work with.

you'd be better off shipping the ford and trailering the 914 behind the van. no-op will kill you if the 914 is still down. or trailer the 914, buy a oneway ticket and nonstop to jblm in the ford. could you dolly the 914 behind the ford?

The only time I would be able to take a U-haul is in December. Not too keen on towing a flat bed over the Rockies in ice and snow with my 914 on the back of it...
Just checked with U-haul and they want more than most of the transport companies anyhow. $1847 just for the rental! Budget and Penske are right there with them. Not selling the Ford Mike. This one isn't a bad car, and gets better mileage than some newer cars these days(23city/28hwy)! Cruisin that home with dad in Dec. will be far cheaper than a rental. Rob, I'll look into that link. Thank you. |

Roadrunner Auto Transport were the ones that the dealer in NY used to send me the Cayman last month. $1450 enclosed. 2250 miles.
Expect to pay more if the car does not run. |
