I am trying to figure out out to move a collector show car from Alamosa to Franktown. Does anyone have on know anyone willing to rent or move themselves a car with a trailer enclosed or open? Willing to pay $$$. I tried calling some auto transport companies and almost all of them just do moves from one state to another. I know U-haul rents car trailers but all of them used chains and not nylon straps (yes this is a show car so underneath is custom painted also). Ideally I wish I could find someone with an enclosed car trailer but at this point I am just trying to figure out how to get a show car that isn't driven a whole lot back from Alamosa. Any help or leads would be appreciated

People may be hesitant about transporting some else's property for money because there is a chance that their insurance might not cover damages caused by the trailer.

There will be no coverage by the driver/owner of the trailer for any of the contents IN the trailer though. Just so you know.

I realize and understand that and would take my chances and not hold them responsible. I am not asking them to just go get the car and deliver it. I would be going with and would help out in the hole process. I just don't want to drive a show car that is not driven a whole lot the 200 miles back to my house. I just don't want to break down and have a collector car sitting on the side of the road while I figure out what to do with it.

That's what I figured, just wanted to point it out in the case you hadn't considered it (though I assumed that you had). Good luck sir.

And I would drive it too but it is a show car and not driven a whole lot and I do NOT want it to break down on I-25 and have a show car just sitting on the side of the road.

If you can't find anyone let me know, I have a 18 ft dovetail car hauler for my racecar. It's not enclosed but it will move a car. I've used the UHaul ones, they have web straps over the front tires, and you have to use your own straps on the back... well the ones I used did. Weekends are about the only time i'm free... if I'm free.

Thanks CKJ!

Let me see what turns up. I have this thread going and one on colorado4x4.org. If I can find a good local transport company I might go that route. The guy who owns the car told me he would take the cost of moving it off the price of the car but he ad so I just need to see how this all pans out.
