Hi Guys I tried to send this through before but didn't get posted. I am shipping my 69 GT 500 back to the States (Portland Oregon). I have been quoted around 3% of the total value of NZ$250,000 which I find a bit heavy for a 6 week trip from New Zealand. Any of you have suggestions on international insurers. Thanks Randall

The bare-bones coverage (if the boat sinks) was 1/2 percent of stated value, while the all-singing, all-dancing policy (including payment for damage during shipping) was more like 1.5 or 2 percent of stated value. Go to www.movecars.com, which is a clearing house for car shipping companies; the international shippers are listed at the bottom. I don't know if any of them handle shipping from outside the USA back to the USA, but they can certainly give references? FWIW shipping from Europe to the USA was almost double the cost of shipping from the USA to Europe--all in higher taxes and fees... Mike
Oh New Zealand wants your butt on this one hell! It will cost me around $10,000 just to ship it. But if you ship form California to here it is only around $5,000. I put the car in Auction here to allow it to stay but didn't quit meet my reserve here. So I am loading it home. Here are the auction details if you are interested. http://www.trademe.co.nz/browse/0001-0268-1492-/auction-53563090.htm Anyway I have to sort it soon as they are coming to pick up my household goods. Christ I may just have to find a job now.
