IG Transport LLC Revs Up Collector Market with Secure, Specialized Race Car Shipping
Vancouver, WA – November 8, 2023 – For collectors and racing enthusiasts, the thrill isn’t just about the speed on the track – it's about owning a piece of that history. But getting those prized collectible race cars safely from auction, restoration shop, or across the country can be a real headache. That's where IG Transport LLC, a US-based logistics company located in Vancouver, Washington, steps in, offering specialized, door-to-door shipping solutions tailored specifically for these valuable assets. IG Transport LLC, operating out of 12110 NE 112TH ST, Vancouver, WA, 98682-2077, and reachable at 402-466-1991, isn’t your average shipping company. While they handle a range of transportation needs, they've quickly become known for their expertise in moving collectible race cars, both nationally and internationally. “We saw a gap in the market,” explains a company spokesperson. “A lot of shippers treat cars like… well, just cars. Collectible race cars are different. They're investments, often with significant historical or personal value. They deserve – need – a higher level of care and attention.” Beyond Basic Transport: What Sets IG Transport Apart? So, what does that “higher level of care” look like? It starts with understanding the unique needs of these vehicles. Forget simply driving a car onto a standard carrier. IG Transport offers a range of services designed to protect your investment every step of the way. Enclosed Transportation: This is their bread and butter. Forget open-air carriers that leave your car exposed to the elements, road grime, and potential damage. IG Transport uses fully enclosed trailers, keeping your race car shielded from the outside world. This is especially crucial for classic or rare cars, preventing paint fade, stone chips, and other cosmetic damage. "Think of it like a mobile showroom for your car," says the spokesperson. Lift Gate Trucks & Low-Profile Trailers: Not all race cars are easily driven on and off a trailer. IG Transport’s fleet includes trucks equipped with lift gates and low-profile trailers, accommodating everything from heavily modified race cars with ground effects to vehicles with fragile undercarriages. They eliminate the risk of scraping or damaging vital components during loading and unloading. Soft Tie-Downs & Protective Padding: Forget metal chains and harsh straps. IG Transport uses soft tie-downs and ample protective padding to secure the car without scratching the paint or stressing the suspension. They meticulously secure the vehicle, ensuring it doesn't shift during transit. Door-to-Door Service: Convenience is key. IG Transport picks up your race car directly from your home, garage, dealership, or auction site and delivers it right to your designated location. No need to worry about coordinating multiple transportation legs. Detailed Condition Reports & Photos: Before, during, and after transport, IG Transport provides detailed condition reports and photos of your race car. This gives you complete peace of mind knowing the condition of your vehicle throughout the process. “We document everything,” explains the spokesperson. “That way, there are no surprises when your car arrives.” Insurance Coverage: IG Transport carries comprehensive insurance coverage, protecting your race car against damage or loss during transit. They work with reputable insurance providers specializing in high-value vehicle transportation. The Collectible Race Car Market – and Why Secure Shipping Matters The collectible race car market is booming. From vintage Formula 1 cars to iconic NASCAR machines, collectors are willing to pay top dollar for a piece of motorsport history. Auction houses like RM Sotheby's, Bonhams, and Gooding & Company regularly see cars selling for millions of dollars. But with such high values at stake, protecting these investments during transport is paramount. A seemingly minor scratch or dent can significantly reduce a car's value. "These aren't just vehicles; they're pieces of art, historical artifacts," says the spokesperson. "We treat them with the respect they deserve." IG Transport is seeing increasing demand from collectors, race teams, and restoration shops across the country. They handle everything from single-car shipments to large-scale collections. They've transported cars to and from major racing events, auctions, and private collections all over the United States and internationally. Recent Shipments & Client Testimonials IG Transport recently shipped a 1967 Ford GT40 from a private collector in California to a restoration shop in Connecticut. The car, valued at over $2 million, required specialized handling due to its fragile bodywork and rare components. IG Transport used an enclosed trailer with custom padding and secured the car with soft tie-downs, ensuring it arrived safely and without damage. Another recent shipment involved transporting a collection of vintage Formula 1 cars from a museum in Florida to a racing event in Texas. IG Transport coordinated the logistics of transporting multiple cars, managing the paperwork and ensuring all cars arrived on time and in perfect condition. Client testimonials highlight the company’s commitment to customer service and meticulous attention to detail. “I was incredibly nervous about shipping my vintage Porsche 911 across the country,” says one client. “IG Transport put my mind at ease. They were professional, communicative, and took extra care to protect my car. It arrived in perfect condition.” Another client adds, “IG Transport is the only company I trust with my valuable race cars. They understand the unique needs of these vehicles and provide a top-notch service.” Looking Ahead IG Transport LLC is committed to continuing to provide secure, specialized transportation solutions for the collectible race car market.
