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 http://www.early911sregistry.org/forums/sh...to&p=498079 |

I forgot one thing.
Because the local hauler is subcontracted from the overseas shipper, they bid it out to the lowest price bidder. these guys tend to be a bit more than flaky. Get a cell number for the driver. Force them to commit to a time and date, then call them that morning to confirm. They do get behind schedule and if you know they will be a day late, you can go to work and take tomorrow off instead. Remind everyone you talk with that the car is non-op and they will need a winch to load it...just keep reminding them. Rich |
