Canada to US transport service???

Hello Charger fans.

Anyone ship one out of Canada to the US before?  I'm sure it's been done, probably many times, I'm wondering what transport company was used?  All the ones I'm finding service the lower 48 states only.  I need a transport company that will pick it up in Canada, clear customs at the border, and deliver it to me in the USA.  Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.  If I can't line up a shipping company, I'm going to fly in and drive it home (no better way to get acquainted with a new Charger anyway right).

From where to where ?

I am in Canada and had a guy bring a 69  Charger across for me last summer

He might go the other way but depends how far

I am in the Toronto Ontario area and so is he

This one's clear over in British Columbia, and I'd need it shipped to Pittsburgh PA.

If it's in Vancouver area, or somewhere close to the border, you could drive it down to Washington state, clear the border, and get a shipper from there. British Columbia to Pittsburgh is a long haul!


Oh, and where's the pictures?

Hey I'm in Vancouver and have brought cars over many times.  Your best bet is to get someone to take it across the border and clear customs and just get it transported from WA to you that will cost you alot less too.  If not try Hansen's forwarding I've had nothing but good experiences with them. Shoot me a pm if it's close to me I don't mind helping you out

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I appreciate it.  I requested a quote from Hansen's, we'll see what they say. 

Here's a pic of the car I'm getting:

Awesome, always nice to come across a local Mopar guy. Maybe we'll cross paths at a show or something this summer.

Bummer; Hansen's got back to me at $1,900 and some change, which I thought was reasonable.  I guess I'll give TFX a call.

This may sound crazy, but I've just about got myself talked into flying in and driving it home.  Seller says I won't be disappointed with the car, it runs and drives flawlessly.  Yeah, it is a 2700 mile road trip in a 46 year old car which I'm unfamiliar with, but what the hell.  Worst case scenario, I break down half way across the country, but that's all the less I have to pay a transport company to get it the rest of the way home.

Great idea, lifelong memories. I hate seeing cars on trailers anyway. Not much to go wrong on an old Mopar either.
