I am looking to buy a tr3 project car about 30 miles from where I live. The body is just setting on the frame with the engine, trans, and diff on the frame. There are also boxes full of stuff. I am looking for suggestions on the best way to move it home. The boxes I could just take with me and someone suggested a while back that renting a U Haul is a good method. I am not sure and actually thinking about calling one of those car transporters, but the car is close by. Anyways looking for ideas

Might be worth getting a quote from a regular towing service. See if they will discount if you can have some flexibility in your schedule. I don't think a long-distance auto transporter would be interested, probably more trouble than they are looking for.
Thanks Darrell I thought it might be that easy too. My concern was the body it not bolted down and I thought they might find towing it a problem, and charge me stand by or whatever. I guess I will need to get a good working relationship with the PO and take my time. The thing has been in his garage for30 years. Incidentally, I saw a tr3 down on Vancouver’s Craigslist for 6K, but they only returned one email and we never worked anything out. Did you know the car?

My car was in a similar state. The frame fit easily in an 8' pickup bed with the tailgate open. The body also fit, tail forward. The fenders were off the body but I think they are so thin it wouldn't have made a difference. It took 2 of us to handle the frame, and 3 for the body.
If you're buying a car in pieces, be sure to search the area for all parts and arrange to be able to go back & search a few months later once you've developed a list of what is missing. You can be certain there are parts missing, which can be solved with time & money. Just be sure to budget appropriately.

You might look around to see who has a A A A card.....I know several here who have gotten the projects moved that way....and if they have the gold A A A card....I think it would be free! Slide type deck on the wrecker sounds like a plan. Take several ratchet type straps and keep it all together.....go early and have the loose stuff put in a pickup so you do not get dinged for stand by time! Fun project ahead for you! Love our car.
