Shipping from Melbourne to Adelaide and car trailer
« on: January 08, 2014, 11:58:03 pm »
I'm in the process of buying a 1967 fastback (great condition, runs well) from a private seller in Melbourne. I don't think I'll be able to get to Melbourne any time soon so I'm thinking of having it shipped over to Adelaide. Can anyone recommend a good shipping company that's reasonably priced?

Also, I'm thinking of getting a car trailer. Between my husband and myself we have 4 classic cars in various stages of restoration. I'd like the trailer to work for the mustang as well. My husband was saying that we might need a beaver tail trailer because the mustang I bought has side exhaust pipes. My husband also wants to know the mustang's weight, wheel base, length, and width before we buy a trailer. How do I find this info? Any advice you have on trailers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
