California 914 Purchase-Shipping Costs Options

[RD Evans]

Anyone have experience shipping a 914 from California to Texas? What's a ball park price? Shipping seems to make more sense than driving 1700 miles in a car you've just purchased.

Drive it!  I just got back and it was a BLAST!  

I drove from San Francisco to Flagstaff the first day - an easy drive.  The second day I was going to stop in Amarillo but it was going so well that I continued to Fort Worth (my destination).  Got here at 2 AM.

Even though it was at least 104 outside in some areas, it was not bad in the car with the windows down.

I have a few bugs to get off the front bumper, but it's much better than some of the damage I have heard of from shipping companies (no personal experience).

If the car was sitting a long time or is a really unknown, you might be better off shipping as there are a lot of things to go wrong after all these years.

Sounds like my drive in November. SF to Ash Fork AZ first day. Then from there to Amarillo TX on day 2. Amarillo to Nashville on day 3. Home by 5 pm day 4 (SE Michigan). A great trip. I'd do it again in a minute! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
