      Car Transport Non Runner Disassembled?

      We're looking to have a car brought to our shop from MN, but the front clip is removed and it's not a runner. Because of this, most transport companies won't touch it. Any suggestions on a small transporter - p/u truck & trailer guys - that might take this gig?

      Thanks!

      Call Joan at The Transporation Group. 800 207 3012. The problem you will face right now is that LOT'S of haulers have parked their trucks because the fuel is high and rates are low! Since there are fewer people hauling cars right now the haulers are MUCH MORE SELECTIVE in the hauls they take. Somthing is going to have to give with increased rates or cheaper fuel to get a lot of these guys back to hauling cars.

      I just shipped a non runner Camaro body with no engine/transmission from Nashville to Cleveland for $500 last month (December). Got it done quick through Joan. You will at the VERY LEAST need to have the front clip bolted to the car and all the parts stuffed in the car. The second option is to offer more money to get a hauler interesting in messing with your junker. Just Kidding!

      You can try Don Kailen out of Louisville at 502 693 6466. Don is retired police officer who goes EVERYWHERE hauling 1 at a time. He will haul a car like you describe. VERY competent and VERY quick. He is not cheap since it is one car at a time.

      A third option is Carlos at 256 599 4067. He is out of Alabama. He will also haul project cars anywhere 1 at a time.

      I have used all 3 of these sources succesfully many times for hauling cars I have purchased or sold.

      Hope this helps with 3 other sources to contact!
      Mike

      I just had a 69 rolling chassis shipped from SC to TX by www.LSXTransport.com , cost me $1200 for enclosed delivery.

      Have the seller put the front clip back on, or pack the parts inside. It just needs to roll and steer.

      Thanks for the recommendations, guys. I think we're covered, but I'll keep the info on file.
