Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.

Barry, I'm not sure about the weight. The car itself is 6 1/2 ft X 2 1/2 ft so I figure the crate to ship it in would need to be 7ft X 3ft X 2ft (with antenna off) I estimated the weight to be 300 lbs but that could be a little much.

I'm 2977 miles from where the guy is in Oregon and the $800 estimate was by common carrier. $100 of that was fuel surcharge.

I looked at DHL and find for this package about 1200 $ shipment ?

Jim , should you make a wooden box around it ?

Barry, In my opinion, a wooden crate made from plywood would be the only "safe" way to ship it. The car would need to be covered up and the crate filled with styrofoam peanuts. My estimate of 300 pounds included a wooden crate built on a wooden pallet.

Barry has gone into hiding   He's still the high bidder at $2650. With 2 days left on the auction, we have had 3200 viewers and 55 people have it on "watch".

Barry, since you discovered that the shipping cost will be $1200, I'll be glad to cancel your bid if you want me to.
