My search for a car took me to CF Rinkens last week (They are an international car shipping company in Paramount CA). The car turned out to be a waste of time (ebay sale that didn't hit reserve and turns out was currently listed on the UK ebay)... first clue walking up to it was the B.H. Car club sticker in the window (so it was a flip of a flip)....Second clue was the missing front and rear windshield seals...had the moldings sitting around the glass but no seals, had several other issues as well. Anyway passed on this car..
The really interesting and sad thing was there were probably 50 cars out front and another couple hundred in the back of which the yard guy said most were going international... Saw 20-30 Porsche's, 10 or so 240Z's one other coupe a couple 2002s, several E-Type jags even a Formula Ford race car and ton of other cars all years.. They also ship cars cross country but only coast to coast...Enclosed rail road cars for about the same price as open truck (according to the rep that took me to the Coupe to look at.)
Was also able to stop by last week and chat with Carl Nelson and get some tips for my search...Wow what a wealth of knowledge...and a treasure trove of parts.
Thank you to the forum members that have reached out with their cars that are coming up for sale unfortunately still a bit out of my budget...My search continues...
