Back to top.

I think I have contacted everyone on the list. If I missed you, send me an email. Many more pictures available if you want to see a specific area. Come visit Friday Harbor and pickup your car. Ferrys aren't bad this time of year and reservations can be made from Anacortes, WA. to San Juan Island, Friday harbor.

Last of the right hand drive standard Ford cars and last model before the T.

I would love to have this beautiful car in my garage, I can afford it but I have no clue as to what to do in case something goes wrong. My dilemma! Frank

Frank, repairs are pretty straight forward, much like a T. The late Carl Pate's book on the early ford cars has lot's of info and there is a cd included with the book that has repair and part lists that came from the ford factory with the cars. I will include the book with the car. Come visit and take a look when you need a break from the summer heat, we are usually in the high 60's during the summer and 80 would be a real scorcher.

Ohhh ...I have agonized over this car for several months now, but as they say in real estate -Location, Location, LOCATION!! :D Transporation costs for me having it professionally transported to my shop are about 1/3rd the sales price by the time loading parts and ferry fare is factored in, ...and I just cannot be gone for 10 days on such a mission. Someone PLEASE buy this car to take me out of my agony!! :lol:

Brent,

I could get it to the mainland in Anacortes, WA. I just did this with a friends Miata. Saves the ferry hassle and cost as most transport people don't want to deal with the ferries It does require some advance planning especially during the summer tourist season.

Brent: Try Passport Transport. I once priced shipping a 29 RHD Townsedan from there. It was cheaper than I could go and get it. Just don’t be in hurry.

Also try Bill's Auto Works (billsautoworks1@aol.com 216 832-8697). He just shipped the miata from Anacortes to northern Michigan. Excellent service and a very reasonable price.
