Soul, back in 2009 I used AUSTORIENT motorsport services to ship my race car from Florida. Or near enough to Florida. They had a lady there called Debbie Robinson who was the ducks nuts but I believe she has left. I brought my car over in its own 20foot container full of the usual race car crap etc
You could always try them ROSS FEHLBERG : AUSTORIENT :: Freight Forwarding : Customs Brokers : Transport and Warehousing

Soul, I brought a couple of cars in their own 40ft container through NJ/NY via Marine Transport Logistics, Inc. at a price that was much cheaper than shipping to Huntington Beach, CA.

I used Intercity to get one car from Florida to NJ. They have an amazing fleet of trucks, and take great care with the vehicles.

Default Thanks guys,

Thanks for the info , onto most of them now.
I have contacts from LA to Aus and also have contacts from MD to Europe , but the Lower East coast is more difficult .
For some reason ? And tales way too much time.
Was contemplating driving the 4000+ Kim's to LA , but a 47 year old car???

Thanks again,

Soul.

Soul these are the people Craig used to transport his car from Florida to New Jersey.

Intercity Lines, Inc.

If they're good enough for Jay Leno ....

Once in New Jersey, Marine Transport Logistics took over and it was all smooth sailing from there. Sure it seems illogical to have to backtrack back down the coast to the Panama Canal but it's a lot less stressful, and cheaper, than trucking the car all the way across to Long Beach.
