V1 What is the furthest you drove to get a donor?

[Jareth]

I see a donor car that I like but it would be 4,600 mile road trip. Or An estimated cost of $2,700 to have it shipped?

[Gtstorey]

640 miles one way.

That's a long poke. I logged a little over 900 miles round trip for mine. It was the closest donor that fit my requirements after actively searching for around 5 months. "There are always cars for sale", my father would say. If the one you're looking at isn't perfect for what you're after, there's always time.

 

[Ark :D]

About 130 miles one way. Not terribly far, until you realize it's the donor I bought, and I had to get it home while having completely destroyed front driver-side drive/suspension.

did you check with Uship for shipping of it?

 

[Jareth]

That drops the shipping cost down to $1,600, such a deal

You can have people bid it as well. When I bought my boat I looked into it and the bidding was for a few days. It started at a 2k offer to drop off the boat and by the time it was done it was down to $750. Still ended up driving down to NC from MI to get it, just as a small get away.

 

[PaulPerger]

1,000 miles round trip.

 

[Scott #321]

800 mile round trip for my 09tc

 

[Dsteinhorst]

850 miles. Drove it home.

 

[Jareth]

If I were to get it I was considering flying and then driving it home, but that could be risky.

I pushed my donor - on rollerskates - from the end of my driveway into the garage...delivery is the way to go!!!

 

[devianteng]

My donor was a roundtrip of about...7 miles? Something like that.

It's a little ironic that you are in St Clair and that's where I got my donor from.

That’s funny, how long ago did you get your donor?

nevermind I see your frame is in the 200s

 

[Mahkoi]

Picked it up September of '20 off of FB marketplace.

 

[CaptFrank2001]

370 miles round trip to get my donor & 2,200 miles round trip to pick up my frame.

And thank you for making that trip (CaptFrank's delivery service brought me my frame too)!

Thanks, glad I was able to help. Worked out good for all of us !

How did you manage such a daunting quest! That's got to be some sort of shortest distance record (excluding pre-owned and shipping frames).

I went 350 miles round trip. I really wouldn't have gone much further.
