I think this is my next project car

[extropic]

Just throwing out a crazy idea here. Fly to NCjeeper land, rent a truck (Penske, Ryder, U-Haul) big enough to put the 55 inside (20ft box?). Ratchet strap all 4 tires to the walls or floor deck. A rollback flatbed tow truck at both ends of the trip and Bob's your Uncle.

Alternatively, maybe a H-M member(s) wants a machine moved from East to West and will help defer your costs. Put the 55 on a trailer (or the machine(s)) as appropriate.

Ignore the rip-off artists. See the USA for your Chevrolet . . .

I agree with extropic if you have the time, that sounds like a good option. Other than the flying part.

The flying part is complete chaos! Co workers had flights cancelled both ways. Makes me wonder if it is a bait and switch set up, as the $800 round trip turned into $1600 return!

Shipping a car? Here’s how (and why) to make the right choice

There are a lot of car shipping choices out there, including different companies that offer unique means of transporting your vehicle.

Getting it myself it not an option for reasons I've already mentioned.

Thanks pdentrem for the link . I read the article and contacted gartho logistics, waiting for his response.

Crossing my fingers for you, I don't know about shipping cars, but I've shipped a bunch of machines.

I love my wife. This showed up today from her. Didn't even tell me she was getting it.

It's on the wall of my man cave now

I know I'd never make it upstairs, but if I did this would be me. If my 55 can't go neither will I.

How's the transportation going?

How's the transportation going?

Fingers crossed a transporter will be here the first of the week to get the car.

Sometimes I get tools, and for the last 3 years it's been nova parts. Now all of a sudden totally out of the blue I get 55 parts.

That commercial about google watching you is right. I also think alexa is in on it also.
