Porsche cars off to Belgium

Some of you may remember Dax (Danny) in Belgium.
He was looking for a very nice 914 and was having a hard time finding just the right car.

Well he decided that the 911 Carrera Cab was what he wanted and his new Porsche buddy Mathew was looking for a super nice original paint 1976 big bumper car.

They are the new caregivers of these two very fine examples of super clean Porsche machines.

Carrera just turned 70,000 miles on the drive over and the 914 120,000 miles. I had the Carrera for around 15 years and the 914 for around 7 years.

I had no idea how cars where shipped to Europe in cargo boxes. The place that I delivered the cars too ships around 50 cars on a good day in 4 up stacked in 40 x 8 x 8 cargo boxes. Extensive wood structures are built around the cars and they are stacked 2 up x 2 deep plus a motorcycle in the box too.

I got lots of pictures of the cars in their warehouse and it was very impressive. Cars are bought on line and at the Pomona swap meet and sent to Europe. Auction houses also send cars with them.
