Seattle and doesn't want to take it to the shipping terminal?

Must not be able to make it there.

Or really doesn't want to sell it.

I've never had a 2 valve USA car with bent valves.

The valve reliefs in that engine are huge.

Pop on the yahoo groups PacNW 928 list. I'm sure there are folks who could help you/or him figure out a way to get it done.

BTW...He is in Renton, about 45 minutes southeast of Seattle...and with traffic..it can be a pain to get around. I'm sure we have some folks local to Renton and Seattle.....

Congrats! Why not fly and drive

Otherwise: http://www.transportreviews.com/

You can request a quote. Do NOT put a phone number in (put in your area code-555-1212) or they will not stop calling. Once the quotes are in wait for the emails and call them back.
