always good to hear about when thigs go right. and that theres still good guys out there.i would like to say i agree. BUT, when i had my 356 shipped over it got damaged and they really weren´t a lot of help. i took out full insurance on the understanding that mine was one of 2 classic porsches in a 40 ft container. when we went to unload the container they had jammed 3 in there, with mine(the only one that wasn´t a project/basket case) up on a ramp. needless to say they had damaged it getting it up there. my then all whistles and bells insurance was invalid, as there should have only been 2 cars in the container. it was hard to even get the money out of kingstown for the insurance premium(7 months to get that) and nothing for the damage. so i think you were lucky Kai.
eek, Lazzas been trying to entice me to move to Houston by saying i can take my cars with me. -

Helen,
It is not a problem to take the old ones over! Proper insurance and proper packaging of the car before loading the container is not a problem especially if yours are pre-smog law specification. You might have to do something about the ride height, side marker lights (from '69 onwards IIRC) etc but these are small things and your 356 A will fly through it.
Isn't Jason (964RS) shipping his 2.0 S over?
Just imagine how many c o u n t l e s s Porsche fora there are within porsche club USA to discover!

This the exact same scenario I had albeit it took a long time to resolve and I had to really keep pushing it.
Quite alarmed at how many peoples cars get damaged though....!
Re: Big up...kingstown shipping
Yes you do have to be on the case..but they did deliver maybe 5months but I had to locate the part first which took about a month
