Hi
there,
I'm 45 years of age,
maried with three lovely daugthers.
I live in The
Neterlands, Europe. My hometown is Apeldoorn, see for yourself:
http://www.vvvapeldoorn.nl/front_EN.htm (english
language!)
and
http://www.vvvveluwe.nl/ (dutch
language only...).
I've been on this
list before, even several times. And still have some
contacts.
I just never
succeeded in getting my own '56 Dodge, çause thta's what I want ever since I
owned one 25 years ago.
Now it seems I've finally got her. Just won an auction on the
Internet:
a 1957 Dodge Custom
Royal Lancer D500!!!.., not a 2-door, but who cares? Almost nobody knows the
difference over here!
She's located in
Bremerton, Washington.
I still have to
check with the VIN#, engine# and the info on the data plate. But after everyting is okay, I
will pay the $ 500 deposit and probably pick her up myself.
That might sound
easy to you, but it sure isn't: I live in The Netherlands,
Europe.
Happily flying is
cheaper these days: for about $ 300 I'm there.
She needs a little
work (that is: i hope just a little...), anyway the brakes and exhaust needs to
be done. And I want the wide white wall tires mounted. I would like to have this
done in the States, before I come to pick her up.
I would really
appriciate some advice on this.
And then offcourse,
she needs to be shipped to The Netherlands.
I thought
there are two possibilities:
1. ship
directly from the Washington state;
2. drive her
east and ship anywhere from the eastcoast.
Driving her
would be nice, a sort of vacation to (hopefully) always remember. But also
risky, since you never know what might happen during such a long trip. Shipping
from the eastcoast will be less expensive.
Shipping from
the westcoast seems like the easiest to do, but I do not yet know anything about
costs.
Can anybody
give me a hint on how to find out about shipping?
Well, so far
for now, I "look forward" to your reply!
Sincerely,
JIm
Hoekendijk,
The
Netherlands.
