Worked well , nice dealing with local guys. The only risk is that they didn't tie the car down, they never do ( and they haul quite a few cars) . It wasn't a problem in my case but I might insist on the tieing down in future.
I don't know who had the 72T for sale . I don't remember ever seeing that car. There are very few 911's around here so I would remember it.

575 is a great deal, at that price it would be hard to justify doing it any other way. Any pics of the car?

hmm, must be luck of the draw. They used gloves & mats every time they moved the car. It was an open carrier, so it was a bit dirty, but they even put it on teh top so the cab top wouldn't get any oil drips from other cars. Downside was waiting, they picked it up 3 weeks behind schedule.
As for 911s, there are 4 within 5 minutes of me. One longhood (69 911t), a couple mid-years and a Carrera. I've met two of them, great guys and very enthusiastic. I bought a 2.2 longblock off one of them.
There's a Pelican in NS who has his 69 911e for sale right now.
Hey, any of you guys participate in the
Armsinc events? I'm trying to bamboozle my dad's Carrera for a DE event this spring/summer.
