UPDATE 04/2017:

Racer Chris has picked up the Limo!




Going to repost this here to get some more exposure:

I'm prepared to entertain the possibility.
My maternal relatives are having a gathering near Minneapolis on July 4th.
Just if I could hitch a ride to Duluth from my cousin after the family picnic, and rent a box truck to haul everything back.

Cut it up? Say it ain't so...!
What are the length dimensions? I'd have to get it shipped but I'd be interested. put me on the list for consideration behind Mr. Foley.

Tyga, where were you when it was in Sonoma?

That would put her in capable hands ...

We could take up another collection for the transport fees for Chris. I'm happy to put a few bucks in for beer gas money.

I'm assuming "Chris" is Foley and not me. I'd chip in on transport costs to him.
I'd just like to help with the project, just let me know how.
Chris B.

Someone with the skills should take this project on! Here's a photo of a project that my friend did on another brand of sports car. Just takes skills, patience, and $$$$.Click to view attachment

I would but if I show up with anymore "junk" at home I would be living in it.

Rick, Chris, what is the cost to ship it to CT?
I will chip in for that, especially since you need to move it within two weeks.

Rich

I haven't looked into shipping cost.
I did look at pickup truck rentals with the thought of towing my trailer round trip, but that would cost around $1200 before buying gas.
Next round of investigation for me would be one way truck rental back to CT with a flight out to MN.

I have a cousin who lives near Rick. If the car is definitely headed this way, I'm sure I can get Tim to keep the limo in his yard for a short time.

I have not looks in a few years but cross country shipping, if you are willing to wait for the deal, is less than 1000, sometime as low as 500

I recall there are two ways to ask for the price.

One is ASAP...that is more money.
The second is wait till someone has an extra slot on the truck.
That second way could mean a long wait, but its cheaper.

Rich

I posted on the other thread. I don't have the funds to transport it to Chris, but I have the time and the means along with the willingness to do so to save the project. I will gladly volunteer my services if you can raise the money to cover fuel cost.

Shoe

The limo might require two extra slots in the truck.

I was gonna say that.

I doubt a transport service would accept the limo.
They only move operable vehicles afaik.

I have a trailer that might hold the limo without the engine/tranny.
The deck is only 16ft long and it has a tire rack on the front that limits frontal overhang. It's a single axle trailer so managing the tongue weight will be critical.

I have an offer of a truck to tow my trailer which comes with a co-driver.
What remains is working out a schedule.

A schedule is coming together.
Current plan is to be in Duluth by midday next Friday.

Looks like the car is heading East.

Let me know if it falls through, I have the equipment to move it.

Shoe

Good to see it continue.

The adventure begins.
We left the shop at 6:15 after I shipped a few orders.
Anyone waiting on parts will have to wait a little longer.
Staying in upstate NY tonight, early start tomorrow.
Planning to stop near Wisconsin Dells Thursday night.

Safe travels Chris!

Cool!

Enjoy the ride when you're not driving...

Lots of construction on the Indiana Toll Road through the Portage area. No good way around it. If you happen to stop in Portage for a break give me a call, 219-730-9205 depending on what is going on with mom I could meet you for some if you have time.

No time to stop for dinner, running behind due to I 80 constr. In Indiana
Just reached WI a short time ago
Will stop for the night in an hour or so.

I figured chances were slim. Lots of construction going on here in Indiana on both the toll road and I94, no good way around it.

Safe travels

We stayed at Wisconsin Dells
I haven't been there in nearly 50 years
Next stop - lunch in Superior WI.

The transfer has occurred.
We are underway again.

This was pretty much turn and burn.
We're almost to Madison already.

Bet it makes for some interesting looks from other drivers.

"It looks as if they done welded two of them funny little Porsh cars together, Ethel!"

You drove to Australia?

Yay, now it's on the east coast

Chris I did not know you were cousins with the Winkers...

I autocrossed and ice raced with them back in the '70's and '80's. I worked with one too... Mary Winker? I forget her name...

Great to see Chris again and meet Andy. Sounds like Big things for the limo are in the works. Just couldn't do it. Maybe when I get my back fixed I can come out for a build off weekend.

Nice to see 504 moving forward.

The dynamic, denim duo!

Nice work boys. It'll get done someday. Or at least it's another excuse to go to Tangerine Racing to see it.

If anyone asks about it on the way home, tell them it's a rare Porsche prototype and you aren't allowed to say anything else about it. Then look left and right and say "I REALLY better go!" .
