Here is a recap on the current plan:
We are going to buy-out (rent the entire truck) a custom 10-car carrier. This rig is set-up specifically for low-ride height/long wheelbase loads. This carrier will start loading in FLA the weekend of Sept 27-28, then proceed to Atlanta for additional loading on Sept 29, then head west to arrive in Sonoma at the NSXPO site on Tues, Oct, 7th. The carrier and driver will wait at the destination until time to load-out and return, Oct 12th, and your car will arrive back at your starting point about a week later.
The cost to buy out the entire truck for the round-trip is $11,000, or about $1100 per car for 10 cars. The total expense will be shared equally among all 10 participants, regardless of your point of origin. Also, we will share the drivers per diem expenses while he is waiting to return, estimated to be about $100 per participant, so the total estimate for the round-trip is about $1200. I researched numerous possiblities, and the next closest quote was $1400 round-trip, NOT including driver's per diem. This is really the best value for cross-country shipping.
We gain economy by: buying out the whole truck for NSXs only. Minimmizing stops for loading by consolidating load locations. Paying for the driver to wait on-site, rather than drop us off and return empty.
There are still 4 openings available on this carrier. Please PM me to get in...
