General Discussion / Re: Transporting my Camaro from Florida to Upstate New York

Hire a Transportation Company, NOT a broker. You deal directly with a Transportation Company if something happens or an issue arrives.

Brokers put out bids to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that has a trailer or enclosed trailer. Many unscrupulous Brokers will hire out your cargo (car) at a price that is higher than what they tell you. The broker may require a down payment of say $1000. Then, when your cargo (car) arrives, you pay the transporter- and you don't get your car until you pay the price the Broker told the transporting individual. You're held hostage until you pay, and dozens upon dozens of phone calls won't get returned to you by the Broker. 

It's tuff to go to Florida when you live in Iowa to extract your pound of flesh. One pays a price for an education, and boy did I pay!

I'm now 73. I remember the days of being bullet proof and 10 feet tall. I too, have wondered how I'm still alive after all these years. These hallowed forums have helped over the past decades to find vital info (and friends) on our Camaro's. They've also helped drive home the fact that we're only here for a short time.

Along with the rectangular heads, the solid lifter cam isn't as street friendly as a hydraulic one. But up the RPM's................... and look out! There's something to be said though about the sound of a solid lifter cam that gives me goose bumps.

What a totally unbelievable time capsule!  I'd offer to wax it for him.
