HELP - Transporting Rolling Shell interstate [Perthies may able to help]

[Cheese3]

Hey guys,

Ok ill start, about 4 months ago I was looking for a certain type of vehicle to restore and there were a couple on the market but there was one in Perth which was perfect since it basically had no rust while others were more rust than car. I tossed and turned for days and decided I was not willing to spend money on a flight to inspect then more money to transport it. So I decided to put the dream on the back burner for awhile.

About 3 weeks ago mates asked if I was interested in going to Perth to watch Essendon destroy the Eagles in round 14 (who wouldn't?) so I jump aboard. A couple of days ago I remember about this rolling chassis/project in Perth and checked if it still was for sale and apparently it is.

I'm a little excited now since I am going to inspect it as it's the only old car I want but I'm struggling to find a way to transport it at a reasonable price because companies don't transport or charge a fortune with spares and not running ect I got one only quote and it came back at $1800 which I think is insane.

I have about 10 days till I fly out and been ringing companies like crazy and getting no where, are there any locals in Perth that do vehicle transporting interstate that I wouldn't know or someone who maybe people could recommend?

I was thinking of maybe try and hire a flat bed with a small enclosed trailer to tow behind it for parts (is there a place in Perth that does this?) and I would drive way back and bail out on the return flight.

If someone has a solution/answer I would be grateful as I don't have much time left before I fly across and see the bombers win

Cheers
