Auto Transport

That's only a 35 mile trip, hopefully a SoCal owner with a trailer will step up.

Terry, Can you roll the car onto a flat bed? I have a guy that moved my car twice. The truck he has has a special flat bed that drops really low and allows Pantera's to roll right on. I would guess it would cost $75-100 to go from Torrance to Orange? It's not cheap but and option.

Thanks Tom, I am waiting for the shipping company to advise me when they are ready to load the car in Orange (to send it to me in Australia), then I will have it moved, its stored in Torrance at the moment, thanks again for the reply and the option, I will PM you if I need the contact details. Keep safe.
Terry.

I have AAA for towing. I can usually request a flatbed for any car I want to move. You can purchase their tow service even if you don't use them for your insurance. It's a yearly fee of $75 for the premium tow service here and they will tow the car anywhere up to a 100miles. It pays for itself the first time you use it. There is even one option for towing up to 300miles but the fee is a little more.

You should check into it for your area but it should be the same.

The AAA membership is a great idea...forgot about that. Isn't that $75.00 for all cars in the household? Will all flatbeds take a Pantera...the one that my tow guy has hinges about 10-15 feet from the end, so he can get the very end of the bed almost flat with the ground and almost no angle to the bed. It helps with chin spoilers.

Check the rules there but the rules as I understand it is any car I am in. It could be a rental car, a friend's car or a car I am not even driving. My friend was trying to get his GT5 conversion to an alignment shop before registering it and I turned him on to this. The flatbed delivered it to the shop. When it was ready, my friend called from the shop and got it back home. The driver of the flatbed tow carried rams(read 2x4's & 2x6's ) so the car would clear the gap as the leading edge of the bed did not touch the ground but it's going to depend on the flatbed available. The articulated bed that Tom mentioned is the best if you can get one that accepts AAA. If you have AAA road service, I would call their dispatch center just to ask.

I had to send mine out for some front end work, they used a regular flat bed and some 2x6 planks to keep the front spoiler from hitting, no problem it cleared. Which suprised me as my car sits a bit lower than some.
I will say, the flat bed driver was very careful.

Thanks for the offers and advice, all sorted.
