So I'm looking at a two small cars (914s) in Wyoming. If I buy them, I need to get them shipped to Alabama. Does anyone have recommendations? Speed is nice, but it's not as important as price.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Shipping cars
- Thread starter paxton
- Start date
Every time I've been quoted on shipping a car, it always seems to hover somewhere in the area of 1000.00 per car if it's going any distance.
nice find. owned a 1971 914-6 at one time. very cool vehicles. lived in PA at the time and the salt really took its toll - almost as bad as on a RRC.
good luck with your quest.
sorry can't help with a shipper as it has been awhile since I've shipped my Rovers.

Thanks. I submitted my UShip information last night, waiting on auction results now. Both 914s run. I got a great quote on them. They need work, but if I had to, I think I could recoup my money. Probably 2-3k a piece for cosmetics. Looking at PlyCar now.
914's used to be the bastard child of the Porsche world. Lately they're starting to slowly gain in popularity and value.....slowly. The 914/6 has and will always be THE one to have. (And their price reflects that. A 914/6 GT-bodied car is fantastic looking!)
The long-hood/SWB cars are pushing EVERY Porsche up in value. (Except for 928's.)

Yep, and the 1971 model was the best (my year of ownership)!!
went back through my records and when I shipped my 109 from ECR used these folks:
Reliable Carriers 800-521-6393, www.reliable-carriers.com
Not sure if it overkill, yet, I wanted enclosed shipping and they are good.
I know they have a bad rep due to that damn tv series but I have used uship with no real problems. I got an SSE p38 from L.A. to Kentucky for a grand and my d2 from Utah to Kentucky for 800
Filed with Reliable Carriers too.
Both of these are 1971 year model. (I was born in 1971, and I've been looking for a while.)

Both are 1.7's. One is red and one is black. The red one is rougher and may turn into a parts car.

I got a quote from Safeway Car Transport from Denver to Nashville for a RRC for $850. Denver's a little closer than WY, but a 914 is no where near the weight of a Classic.

They're pretty helpful if you give them a call.

They quoted me 1800-2000 depending on truck/route availability. So far, they're the winners!
