How to buy a classic long distance
I bought my Colt race car last year from Vancouver WA from a Dealer/Broker. I am in Texas, over 2K miles round trip. Money transfer was easy because he was a Dealer. Transport was the iffy part, it's not a good route from WA to Dallas, not many trucks haul that route. I got it moved finally, outside, lower rack, on a truck going on route to Houston. Hood was stolen somewhere between Fort Collins CO and Abilene TX. Dude had insurance, but didn't want me to put a claim in, so we split the transport cost. Sucked to lose the hood, but it was in rough shape anyway. Make sure if you pay to get it transported that they are bonded and insured. Inside is a plus, but in my case would have doubled the cost. A drivers inspection report before it leaves is good piece of mind. Just what I learned from my purchase. But heck today with this virus and cheap gas, ROAD TRIP!!!!
