Shipped '69 and Z06 to Florida

Rich427 · 06-05-2007, 07:25 PM

Well, today was the big day! I just shipped the '69 and the Z06 to Ft. Myers in preparation for our final move. I am flying down this weekend to take delivery of the cars. With the '01 vert already residing at our house in Ft. Myers, this leaves us Vette-less until we sell our house here in Maryland. Hopefully we will be there full time in the next couple of months.

I took a few pictures of the cars while they were being loaded. I hope this photoshow works!

I noticed it to but thought it had to do with Band-Aids.

The Vid was awsome-great job.

Hey BM!,

Here in Maryland, I live out in the country and my house is in a dead end community. The transporter's rig is about 80 feet long so he could get in my community but would never be able to turn around. So, I had to find a place reasonably close that had a parking lot that was large enough for him to setup and load the cars. The closest place was a local Rite-Aid a few miles from the house. It worked out great.

I am flying into Ft. Myers on Friday and the truck is supposed to arrive Sunday morning. He has another pickup in New York tomorrow morning then a delivery in Raleigh, NC on Friday. Then he will deliver my two on Sunday. At least that is the current plans.

Rich I know you have owned the 69 for more than six months, but if you own the Z06 less than six months and the sales tax is less than 7% where you have the car registered you will have to pay the difference. You will probably also have to pay a $100 first time registration fee if they are registered out of state. Just a heads up.

Robert and I had lunch with Rich Saturday. He was anxiously waiting for Sunday and the arrival of the car hauler.
Well, Rich says the vettes got here this morning.

He's taking pics he'll post when he gets home.
