I'm selling a '68 911L, that's a non-operative project car. I've been contacted by a fellow off the early 911S page that is interested. He wants to wire the money and have me meet a carrier to take the car for export shipment.

I'm already familiar with getting international wires, and have a separate secure account, but any other pit falls to look out for? Any advice would be appreciated!

FWIW here's the car

I have done it about 10 or 15 times, no big deal.
The buyer needs to setup all shipping with his local country shipping company.
That company handles subcontracting the local and long distance haulers to get it to the international docks, for me that is NJ.

You have a non-op car.
The local shipper, who will call you to setup the time of pickup, needs to be reminded more than once that the car is non-op and they need to bring a short trailer to ensure they can get to your shop door.

The trailer needs a winch also.

The short haulers that run around on the east coast use a dually truck and a 3-5 car trailer, so they can get places an 18 wheeler cannot.

Once, I had a local shipper send the 18 wheeler who had to stay on the street....we towed the car out there with a tractor, that sucked.
