Just bought a '67 L78 Camaro out of Pennsylvania. Looking for a reliable, trustworthy enclosed shipper to bring the car to Washington State for a reasonable fee?

Thanks in advance for recommendations,

Paul

Curious as to where in PA you found it ?
I had a Bolero Red/red 67 L78 /M21 that wound up in the Reading PA area
Thanks
Fred

I've had good luck shipping four nice cars from Seattle to Minneapolis with this outfit. They weren't small....

Reliable is a good price and excellent service but often a 3-week pickup and dropoff window. I just used Kevin and Enclosed Vehicle Transport and they were excellent, a bit pricey but could do my preferred schedule down to the day.

By chance was it a Lemans Blue one?? I am from PA and saw one local to me on facebook for sale..67, L78, lemans blue..for around $52K i think


Anyway, when i had my 68 camaro shipped to me from Colorado I used Lamb Motorsports.. Nice enclosed rig, everything was checked before delivery and after delivery , i would use them again

Fred - its a Marina Blue L78 out of Johnstown, PA

Tom - Thanks for the recommendation. I will call them. Is this your collection in Newcastle? I am in Seattle. I don't know if we've ever met?

Yes, the blue one that Joe Barr posted for a friend. MacNeish certification and for the money, seemed like a nice car. I've had a few '67's over the years so this was a bit of an impulse buy.

I called a bunch of guys and seems most broker it out. Kevin at Enclosed seemed the most legit on the phone and he was pricey, but he came down a bit to make it reasonable. Thanks everyone.

Kevin had a 2-car and I want to say a 6-car. I went with the pricier 2-car so no stacking. Nice driver, too (Darwin) who seemed to know his business.

Not my collection, unfortunately. After I appraised a collection, I helped a Seattle family sell some cars to a private collector in Minnesota, and I arranged shipping. The Eldorado is where they were, the Mercury wagon shows where they ended up. I think I may have met you briefly in Issaquah on Front St. at a cruise with your '68 Biscayne? Otherwise I don't think our paths have crossed much. Not by choice! Happy to chat anytime.

Best wishes with your new car- I saw that one and it looked good, love the color combo!

I have a NOS in the box 3910 service replacement if you need a carb -I'll sell it for $500-
That's all the 67 Engine component parts I have left, still have door skins/inner fenders/grills etc- all NOS for 67 also have good original GM trunk and dash sections

Paul must have sent his wife out on a trip. LOL. Nice color. Good luck with the shipping.

LOL!
I bought a '65 Impala recently while the wife was out of town.

I liked this Camaro so much, I agreed to buy it, then broke the news to the wife a couple days later. We are still negotiating my punishment!

Tom - Hope to meet you again next summer when car shows resume. I'll try to make it to Fenders on Front Street again and some Triple XXX shows.
