Re: Stewart Transportation
When I sold my 40, Stewart was contracted by the buyer (Dan Pfister) to move the car from Delaware to California.
I was assured that it would not be moved from it's spot on the truck, until it was offloaded at it's destination in California. The dozen or so FFR Cobra kits sitting in front of the 40 were to be unloaded by crane, through a side door. All was well at that point, and the car was 100% when I last saw it.
By the time it did arrive at it's destination, it had been unloaded and reloaded each time that a Cobra kit was delivered, while the truck was transiting the country.
Upon it's arrival in California, the 40 had a flat rear tire, and the new owner only made it 50' from the truck, before smoke came billowing out from under the dash. Thankfully, he had the presence of mind to yank some wires before bailing out, and total disaster was averted. Apparently, during one of the many times that the car was moved, the truck driver, who was not the sharpest tool in the shed by a long shot, had managed to get a foot or two up under the dash and into the wiring harness, while entering or exiting through the driver's side window opening, since there was no room in the truck to open the door.
Can't say that I'd recommend them, after that experience.
Thankfully, both car and driver survived, and are still on the road.
