Best (cheapest) US East coast ports for shipping

Garp · Post by **Garp** » Fri Mar 03, 17 6:33 pm

I have my eye on another bit of muscle (actually, toss-up between three cars). I've found the cars readily available in most states but am trying to keep the costs down, so I guess there are states with export-ready ports to Southampton and I'd need to concentrate on finding one here to make it the best deal ......
Any advice ?
Cars in question are an early Polara coupe (perhaps convertible), Coronet (just love the shape), Plymouth Fury II/III (currently cheapest option)
...... and the possible non-Mopar option is an Olds' Cutlass S '68 - not the prettiest, but nice stance, and the most expensive
Cheers chaps

If you look on eBay there's someone selling a couple of furys over here at the moment - fresh imports - they are somewhere near Farnham I think

68 cutlass would be my Choice

Also a lot of cars get shipped out of Jacksonville Fl. but Florida is generally not one of the best states to get a car from in my experience - it must be the humidity and the fact they are surrounded by salty air but there seem to be fair few rusty cars there

Yup - suddenly taken a liking to the early GM bodies; Olds Cutlass, Buick GS and love the Chevelle SS ....... ain't no car if it ain't Mopar !
Sadly, finance will dictate my choice in the end. Just looking for a period correct icon car in driver condition coz I wanna drive it !

If you buy in the North East, Baltimore is excellent for Liverpool.

dont think there is big difference in port prices, but texas is one of the cheapest states for anything and its a very climate for rust, ive shipped from galverston to southampton in the past
