Example of why you pay for a good transport company
 

Posted on the South Dakota Highway Patrol page today. Rig pulled over on Interstate 90. Man I'd be ticked if that Impala convertible was mine. Looks like a 427 car, and the driver knew there was a problem and added the straps without actually trying to fix the load.

I know of two original Corvettes that were damaged in transit this year. One was abeing transported from Reno to San Fransisco after being sold by a friend. The transporter used one front and one rear strap. A Four Star Bow Tie 66 Corvette needed it's front end replaced after that trip. Two weeks ago, a dealer lined up the transit for a 1971 original paint Corvette and a car above it leaked brake fluid on the hood, fender and door. The car needs to be repainted now. Neither of these transporters were our advertiser. I pretty much use Reliable, although I know there are other good companies out there.

If you stay in this business / hobby long enough you get to experience the good and the bad....lord knows I have.

Reliable has been very consistent for me. I don’t understand the idea of spending tens of thousands of dollars on a vehicle to shop for the cheapest/ low cost carrier.

I recently bought my first out of state classic car. I contracted Reliable Carriers to have it hauled from Minnesota to Maryland. They did what I expected, delivered it in the same condition that it left. And they did it, at a very reasonable rate. My first experience, an it was good.

Lets see more of that El camino Doug. :)

Looks like a nice stablemate to his Cortez Silver LS5 Chevelle.

Would love to see more pics of that Elco.

454, 4 speed, factory R-12 ac, frame off So.Cal car. Sold new at Schonlaw Chevrolet, Hollywood. These pics were taken when it was shipped a couple of weeks ago. I tried posting pics that I've taken with my crappy camera here at home, and they won't load, keep getting an error message.

Yes, my wife named them Cortez 1, and Cortez 2, lol..
