Just have to ask. Is there a reason your looking for one from a specific city or even a state?

Think you would be best served by finding and hiring the best you can find and pay the air fare. Its not like these cars don't have much value as in the past so money spent on getting the best evaluation you can find vastly outweights any benefit of saving a thousand dollars or so getting one to the cars location.

Just a thought and a consideration. This have been mentioned many times in earlier similar posts. Also consider that its often better to find one really familiar with the specific year or even model (R model verses street 65 for example) That would be even better for you

(it's always a trade-off, right? I like having the work done where I can see it and have some recourse if it's not done properly without sending the car back somewhere else, yet again)

Sorry I thought that like many others here you were looking for someone to look at a car for you. Not a shop to do work or a restoration. There are a fair number of threads from the past on those subjects. Can fully understand being able to visit the progress on a regular basis. Of course many shops provide weekly updates with pictures but that is never the same as seeing and prodding around the car in person. Most difficult thing I've found is communicating what level of work and original details your looking for and the shop or workers understanding the same. Never is perfect and that is the reason to make every effort to communicate allot. Often research and details are left up to the owner since the shop is too busy working on customers cars.

Good luck with your search and choice
