Nice buy, thats the one from AMCS,

Anyhoo, i used TNT to transport a car from Mackay Qld into Sydney, done within 10 days. It was on an open car carrier and arrived intact but pretty dirty.

If i were you i would transport that GT in an enclosed carrier.

If you do drive it back, and need a place to stay in Adelaide (with a secure park) let me know as I have a few spare beds at my digs.
Nice purchase :
Regards Boib

Hope VIP do a better service with their transport than their inspections .. they "inspected" my Fury convertible with their eyes shut ..

I know that car, it originally was from Melbourne.
I didn't know the owner had it up for sale.

Just check with Vip who is transporting the car, i had the ochre brought up from Melbourne and it showed up on a Tnt car carrier. Vip didn't transport the car themselves

Nice car and enjoy it

Cheers

i got the mustang sent from adelaide to perth using one of the big companies, dont recall which one, was filthy and had a very dead battery and burned out coil from the key being left on.cost me heaps too, over a thousand i recall, they wouldnt have a bar of accepting responsibilty either

drive it or pay for special service if its a special car.

Drive it bro, but you might need a few jerry cans of Avgas to get you across the Nullaboor. I am on the Eyre Peninsula so if you dont make it you will get rescued.
