Almost 3 weeks ago I bought a '57 T-bird from a classic car dealership in Clearwater, FL, and I am having a heck of a time getting the car delivered to me in South Dakota. I haven't been too impressed with the dealership so far (absolutely NO sense of urgency). I bought it from PJs Auto World and let me tell you, it's not exactly like buying a car from Shelby at Elite, or even from RK Motors in Charlotte. Anyway, do any of you from that area have a contact for a potential transport (company or individual) that you've had good luck with? PJs is telling me that (after having the car still three weeks later after I paid for it) that their usual transport options are still telling them that they can't even pick up the car for 2 to 3 weeks. I am getting frustrated.

Contact Keith @ Exotic car transport near Orlando. Although, this is "snow bird" season, for shipping their cars back up north.

No, I didn't, for a couple of reasons. I actually inspected the car in person when I was in Florida recently. I know what it is, and what it is not, and we reached an agreement on price that I was quite comfortable with, for what the car is- a decent "driver". We are not talking about a real high-dollar car here. Still, my wife is anxious to get her new summer "fun car".

You could also call Brett at Premier Auto Carriers, at (805) 480-3701. The GT Guys recommended them to me and they were very accommodating.

Thank you, everybody- I appreciate the leads. I will follow up on them. Shelby, if I strike out with the other suggestions, I will be in touch. I appreciate the offer, but will try the others first, since it sounds like you have some exciting other things going on in your life right now (congrats)!
