1969 Imperial progress thread

[patrick66]

When I shipped my '67 Belvedere I wagon to Texas from Germany, I watched it get loaded on a six-car transporter in front of the house I lived in in Germany. It went to Bremerhaven from my house, along with two brand-new 1992 M-B coupes worth about $175K each, that were already on the truck when it arrived. It took about a month for the car to arrive at the port in Houston, where I picked it up and drove it home to OKC. So, the waiting and waiting is something I know well. I'm happy your Imperial is on dry land in Rotterdam! That will make quite a sight as you pull it to Frankfurt. Are you using an anhanger or a rollback-LKW to haul the car with?

You Germans are all the same. Klaus like to feel it tingle in his belly too.

Ya, und?????

 

[Wollfen]

I cant wait to see the start of your restoration thread on this car, i think its going to be very exciting.

Ya, it's not an ordinary sight to see a 5,8m long car on a trailer driving across germany, that's for sure! This also answers your question equal, I will rent a trainer hauled by a Volvo XC90.

Prejudices, I love prejudices. ;)

LOL, very happy to hear you will soon see your new baby! s_dancing2:

Believe me, once your start digging in to it you won't be able to sleep at night thinking of all the time that's being wasted with your eyes closed.

I remember this one. Was in Hemmings two month ago. Seller said the rear window is leaky and all underneath rusty and rotten.

neext ;)

You should start a registry for these Julian.

 

[vdk2010]

I have pictures of most of the interesting ones (if there were pictures) and a lot of cars safed in my head, like this one. ;)

 

[vdk2010]

The car I wanted to use to pull the Imp home crashed totally today -_- Another car crashed into the left front wheel and took the wheel and the whole suspension with him.

Now, I can't find another car that is allowed to pull 2,7t... Shoot! That's a never ending story :icon_hang:

Chryslers going to Germany seem to be cursed.

How many miles from Pt. A to Pt. B?

I don't know which thread is more amazingly long, this one or the Fury III convertible thread. I mean, that one is three times as long as this one, but at least he has a car!

(I'm doing my part to make this one longer)

Do you have anything over there like we do such as U-Haul where you can rent a light truck and a car trailer?

 

[vdk2010]

Nothing like U-Haul, no. We just have a lot of rental car companies over here but they want redicilously much money for a vehicle that can pull the required 2,7 tons.. I got quotes between 400-500€ + gas.

The shipping company offered me to haul it on an open trailer for 475€. Thats nearly as much as the costs for the ship across the ocean...

Enough plot twists already!!
