Okay, so I got some rates today to transport my car from Caledon to Newmarket(about an hour away). (my car is going to get killed here with all that snow, but I may have someone in Newmarket that is willing to store it)
Anyway, I wanted to see what it would cost if I were to get it hauled there. I checked out some quotes, this is what I got

$195- transported in an enclosed trailer
$250- transported by a truck on fletbed
This is the one I really don't get, maybe you can explain
$950?? transported, should be by an airplane at this cost??

Wow, if that is the best rates around there we get a deal here.

A haul from Winnipeg to Morris where we live (similar distance) is about $125.

Unless others know any cheaper around here. Those were private individuals, except for the 900 dollar quote, which I was not expecting.

When I had my 71 LTD 2 years ago before I sold it to someone in Germany, I had to pay $150 to get it towed 45 minutes away(I did not know it would be 150, it is usually 50), and then a $50 charge for the mechanics to look at the car, lie and tell me nothing.

Enclosed is the way to go, but with my luck I won't get the spot, and I will end up looking for a car cover for this winter.

Do you have CAA? 
 Is there nothing closer? Orangeville, Brampton? If you subtract the transport cost you could pay a little more for storage.
 Start a new post looking for storage. I just put my 55 away this past Sunday in a private garage at one of my wife's friends. I drove it there, the roads were nice and dry so there was no salt water spray on the car at all.
 I am sure that there is going to be a few more nice days with sun that will dry the roads.

It's not a Pontiac. I have posted pics of my Customline before. It is for sale so maybe I should put some pictures in the for sale area.

 No, I dont have CAA, I would have to check if there is anything closer. But like you said also, there are cheaper ways of getting the car there.

Today, I got in my car, and the carpet was all damp, that can't be good for my floor pans.hmm

Hey,
Regards to CAA, I have plans on getting it, but I am still kind of looking for storage (this time near the Mississauga area).

67 327 4spd- Where I am, I am not allowed to have those portable garages.
