Timmert Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hi all, I'm Tim, living on the West side of the Valley. Recently bought my first Corvette! Currently setting up shipping from Florida, so it'll be a couple of weeks before it arrives in Phoenix. Here's another sneak preview 🥰 Will post additional pictures later! I'll be keeping an eye on the event pages here, would love to take the car to a drive in or cruise night, although Tempe / Scottsdale is a bit far for me. Cheers, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extender32 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 We have a lunch cruise coming up on Dec 4th. Hopefully your car will be here by then and ready to cruise with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Welcome to ACE, that C3 is going to be pretty cool. I'm on the other side of the world compared to you. I'm as far east and south in Mesa as one can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmert Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 I have some low quality pictures from the ad, and a couple from inside the garage that I took when I bought it. As soon as it rolled out into the daylight I completely forgot to take pics. Guess that's what the C3's lines do to my brain 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vet65te Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Hey Tim, welcome and congrats on the new purchase. I bought a 66 L72 Roadster from Florida about 5 months ago and it was an uphill battle to get any of the big transport companies to commit to picking it up for me. I've used Reliable and Intercity Transport a couple times in the past but after weeks of waiting I started to look around for someone else to haul it, enclosed transport that is. I ran across a guy who hauls cars for one of the specialty car shops down in the Valley and although they didn't do interstate transport, they did have a recommendation and it wound up being a custom shop down in Mesa that had a trip planned to haul customers cars back to Virginia and Kentucky and then they made a trip down to The Villages to pick up my roadster. The husband/wife team both have their CDL's so one drives the other sleeps and they picked up the Vette at 9PM on a Saturday and were offloading it here in Prescott the following Monday at 1PM. Cost was about the same as the big companies. If you have any problems getting someone to commit to hauling your new Vette, PM me and I'll pass on the info on the folks I used. And, maybe next year around late September, you'll come up with the other ACES folks to our Annual Corvette Show here in Prescott.

The previous owner had great connections at Reliable, so they're bringing the car over. They said it'll be a 2 week timeframe to get it here. I hope they'll make it, weather is so nice right now!

Vet65te Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Tim - as they say, 'timing is everything'. At the time a few months ago, I was hoping to go with Intercity or Reliable, who brought home my 65 396 Roadster a couple years ago but all the big outfits were quite busy at the time, so I had to look elsewhere and it worked out well but have to admit, I had some initial reservations using a small company for this haul. I'm sure Reliable will bring it to you in perfect shape. Do post up some pics of it arriving. Mike T - Prescott AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
