Finally got my M-Code Cuda

got an email from craig at AMD today - the car made it there in one piece from bartlesville, oklahoma.

i shipped this car with Passport Transport which was recommended by Hagerty Insurance. they picked the car up immediately in an enclosed truck with a winch. there are only a few car transport companies out there that have their own trucks, Passport is one of them, Reliable Transport is another (they have all the big orange trucks at all the big car auctions). Passport was very professional and easy to work with. i must have received 20 different emails and phone calls from various "dispatchers" saying they knew all about collector car shipping. i was not impressed by most of them and one guy i actually told off. he was trying to pass himself off as an "agent" for Reliable Transport. so being the attorney that i am, i called Reliable and ended up talking to the owner and CEO and he was not happy with this other guy. Reliable actually got their attorney involved and i don't think the idiot guy will be saying he represents "the big Orange truck shippers" again any time soon.

the shipping offers i got ranged from $500 to $1650. most of the offers were for "open trucks" and a lot of them were just idiotic "bait and switch" emails and calls. after getting annoying phone calls for a few days i just decided to spend some money. it was NOT cheap to ship this car but Progressive put the car in an enclosed trailer and picked it up and delivered it within a couple of days of hiring them.

my advice to car buyers out there in FABO land... if you are going to spend some money on a prized mopar, expect to spend another $1000 on getting it shipped to your front door safe and sound.
