Hey Guys,

Happy to report I bought my first -6 and first barn find! Well...a shop find, really. It's been in the same family for 45 years and inop since 1981, so I think it qualifies. The only thing missing was dust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif). Originally a Signal Orange car, and it will be again. Eric Shea and I traveled to Louisiana last week to do a PPI, and that will be the first episode of the new series coming soon.

Now I've just got to get it from Shreveport to Salt Lake City. Things are busy so it will be difficult to take 4-5 days off to drive there and back with a trailer. But I will if I have to.

Anyone have leads on a shipper who can handle an inop vehicle? The car is complete but the engine is out, so that will need to be loaded separately. There's also a few parts bins.

The car will be undergoing a nut and bolt resto, so it doesn't need the royal treatment in transit. Just need someone reputable who has insurance. My usual guy doesn't go through Louisiana so I'm looking for options. Thanks!
