PM me man. I live in Chicago but might be going home to the Detroit area at the end of July for vacation.

I don't have a trailer or truck or anything, so it would pretty much be me driving a car. If that's not cool then I'm sorry I can't help.

I can't edit....

And Detroit is kinda near Ohio. I'm sure they have Amtrak out there.

Dennis,
I am actually sceduled to assist in a move of one of my corporate offices in the Cincinnatti area somewhere around the beginning to mid July. Dont know if that helps - I was just going to drive out my little Jeep Wrangler.

Let me know if I can do something to help....

Sorry for the delay,What I will need is to get a Mustang back,no motor and no trans,dang cant even remember what yr it is Well its the last yr for a T Top car,1987?? love them T Top cars...
So anyone that can help I can make it worth your while.. Dennis :smile:

I might be able to do it.... I think that move is tentative July 15th - but it may move....

Do you have a rig I can use? I have a buddy with a trailer I can use, I think.... but it will cost me...

please let me know,the date

please let me know,the date

So far they are still talking July 15th.... So - I will probably be down there the 15th to 17th. But - I dont have a rig to use....

I do have the wife's Jeep commander - rated to tow 5000lbs..... Not sure if its enough....

I will be in Cincinatti from July 17th to the 19th. However, I dont have a rig to use. Ill be in my little jeep wrangler. If you want to arrange rental truck, trailer, fuel - Ill go get it....

My incentive to do it is I get paid mileage by my employer - and I wouldnt put miles/use gas on my Jeep.....

I would get the car on the 19th for the trip home.... (hopefully its close to there? Ohio is a big state.)

Todd,do you have any idea of what price we are looking at.sounds expensive ,renting a truck,renting a trailer and gas... I have it listed on UShip.com for now,might be cheaper to find someone with truck and trailer already,,thanks for looking out..:smile:

I had a car brought back from eastern OH to me in New Lenox and it was around $500. Enclosed trailor picked it up, dropped it off next day. The only problem was it took almost a month to get it as I had to wait for him to get a car from this area to bring back east. I can probably dig up his bus card.

I have no idea. I just rented a car trailer yesterday to haul a car back from Indiana with the wife's car. It was $49/day. I discussed with the wife about hauling another car with her Jeep Commander and got a "no way"

A truck is probably around $59/day.

So, that is $350 or so in rental, plus fuel....
320 miles at 8mpg (guess?) would be 40 gallons of fuel.

40 * 3.10 - $124 each way.

So, we would be looking at around $598 or so.....I am guessing high on purpose.
