Additional Information: Shipping of two cars from Milford Ct to Gurnee Illinois 60031

Car 1 is a 1970 Mercedes 600. 18 feet 6”
It does not run but has air in the tires and is accusable. There are people available on site to assist in pushing the vehicles. The car will need to be winched on to the trailer.

Car 2 is a 1970 Mercedes 600 Pullman 22 feet
This car does also not run but it does have air in the tires and is accessible. This car is three feet longer then the 600 described above. If the car has to go up a big ramp it will probably bottom out. The best trailer might be a low riding single or double trailer.

You should budget 41 feet to accommodate both cars. When the cars arrive there are people available to help offload the cars.

Time frame:
The cars can be picked anytime between 9 am and 4 pm Monday thru Thursday. A 48 hour notice will help make sure that their is labor to help with the load. The cars can be delivered Monday thru Friday to Gurnee.

Questions for this shipment: 

Question: will hit target can pick up sat or sun and get to you mon. (11/2/2007)
Response: I can only have the cars picked up from Monday thru Friday. The cars can be delivered anyday but Sunday. The cars need to be loaded on a low ramp or they will bottom out. You must have a winch or they will not load. These cars are heavy. (11/4/2007)
Response: I have two ramps that are a low grade onto the trailer and can do this for you next week. Let me know! (11/5/2007)
Response: Do you still think you can do this next week? If you can I am ready. (11/7/2007)
Question: Are you open to a single carrier making two trips? (11/3/2007)
Response: How much would you charge per car ? I like the trailer you have it might be perfect for the job. (11/4/2007)
Response: Thanks, I got the larger single trailer for a few reasons, 1. to be able to haul my pickup if and when it breaks. 2. I did not want a 2 place trailer as your expenses go up with dragging a 2-3 place, stuff moves around on the bigger trailers and sometime can get damaged. I have seen once a two place, with two cars and two bikes on it. Bike sidwways in the front, a car, another bike and then a car. the last car came loose and drove the bike in the middle into the other car (so you now have two damaged cars and a bike) I bet there were some upset owners when he arrived. I wouldnt mind making two trips out for you, they would not be back to back as in the same week (well very doubtful) they would be a week apart as I look for things to come back with. The price would be over your "target" but not by all that much. Being on LI and heading to the northside of chicago you know the tolls are killer. if you would like me to sumbit a formal bid I certainly would. thank you very Much- Kirk (11/5/2007)
Response: Kirk Sounds good. Put in a bid for one car. I hope to get the ball rolling. Tom (11/5/2007)
Response: One other thing to remember is that I also run the same type of business as you do, Im a car rebuilder, racer. this uship stuff only happens when the shop is full and the employees dont need me. tke care and I hope I can handle your cars for you. Kirk (11/5/2007)
Response: If you are still interested let me know if you can pick up a car. (11/7/2007)
Response: I am still interested!!! For sure, things got busy around here. I have a run heading ou early next week, and Im spinning right around. I didnt want to bid if I wasnt sure of what I was doing. I could do one the week of the 19th for you, the other would be the 1st week of december (thanksgiving and all :)-) Also fuel is going up by the day I could send in my bid but it would be around 1500.00 for both, but you would also have the trailer all to yourself. this is honestly the best I could do. if it works Ill submit a bid for you. thanks again- Kirk (11/8/2007)
Response: Sounds good I think having mechanical experiance is very important. Please submit for 1 car. Thanks Tom. (11/9/2007)
Response: Ill get on it for you tonight, Ill submit for the larger of the two cars. that way if you need to other one sooner the guys with the regular trailers could scoop it up. Id like both but this should suit you a bit better just in case. Kirk (11/9/2007)
Question: will transport for 1300.00 will leave asap (11/3/2007)
Response: Thanks for your bid. Do you have a winch? (11/4/2007)
Question: I have a new 2 car trailer with 10k winch with 6 foot long ramps, I transport lowered show cars all the time....fsmith1976 (11/5/2007)
Response: In your profile your rig is 35 feet. The length of the two cars is in excess of 41 feet. If you want to move one at a time I guess you could? (11/6/2007)
Response: the front can hang over 3 foot and the rear can hang over 3+ foot (11/6/2007)
Question: Have you moved your cars? (11/9/2007)
Response: No I still need two cars delivered. (11/10/2007)
Response: I have'nt seen my information posted. I'll be there 11/14/08 and get your cars to you on 11/15/08 and no than 11/16/08 am. Thanks again. John (11/10/2007)
Question: Hi; I'll be out there on wed.11/14/08 I haven't recieved an answer so assume you have made other arrangements. Thanks. John (11/12/2007)
