We've had some chatter on this list about the possibilty of shipping cars
between Vancouver, Washington, and Rendezvous, to Colorado Springs and
Conclave. This morning, I interviewed Neil Pitt, president of Passport
Transport,
for another magazine and was very impressed with their operation. While
general manager of the Passport division of FedEx, Neil organized a management
buy-out of the company with the support of some customers with extensive car
collections, and the company is now independent again and being run by and
for car guys in the same way it was when Healey owner Bob Pass was running it
(before he sold it to FedEx in 2000).
Neil says his company would be pleased to talk to Healey owners who might
be interested in putting together one or more truck-loads (six cars per
truck) of cars from Rendezvous to Conclave. If any of you know of a group that
would be interested in doing that, he says to call them -- 800-325-4267 -- and
ask for John Scharff. With a full truck, you can pretty much specify the
day and time of pick-up in Vancouver, and subject to the laws of nature, the
day and time of delivery to Colorado Springs, in enclosed trucks with
experienced car transport drivers and full insurance.
With a little more flexibility on pick-up and delivery time, I think they
would also be a good choice for shipping cars from any point in the country
to either of the two meets.
No financial interest, just really impressed with what some young gearhead
managers are doing with a company that has a long and impressive record in
the car transport business.
