FED to Norway

(1/26) > >>

Recently bought myself a Front engine dragster! 
Complete roller ex. engine - not a project, but a good looking car ready to race when an engine is installed.
Everything smooth so far. Good comunication with seller, made a nice contract, payment made, and i was offered free storage for 3 months.
So now im trying to sort out shipping from USA to Norway ::)
First thing is to choose a shipping company. I have been in contact with several, and it turns out there are huge differences in prices! Also checking references - after all there is nothing new in importing cars from USA to Scandinavia, and there is lots of experience out there.
As soon as i have decided on one, i will have to arrange transport of the car from seller to the east-coast.

Its kind of a "nervous" situation..., afraid of loosing my money, getting a car in bad shape, shipping accidents etc etc.
But based on what i know so far, i have a very good feeling. (But i am not going to sleep well until the car is inside my garage)   :o ;D

GlennLever:
Is the engine in the vehicle?

If it is you want to be sure the support the chassis so it is not constantly flexing in it's travels.

225digger:
did you have a 3rd party check out the car for you ?  depending on where the car is located im sure you could find a 3rd party racer to inspect the car for you prior to buying ... or even help over see the shipment of it .

i have done this a few times over the yrs for guys out of state . if im local or its in my travels id gladley take an hour or so to help a guy out before buying ..

good luck with the new car

GlennLever:
I'm no expert but would do the same (inspect, oversee shipment pre)

gasserx:
No engine in the car, but i will still ask for chassis support to avoid flexing.

Checked and approved...well, it will always be gambling as long as i dont fly over to have a look at it myself (can still be though). But i have words from another person that it is a nice car, yes.
