I doubt it, unless they were trucks. They better be in an enclosed trailer or be able to float. The AlCan Highway is not the place you would want to be driving a “restored” Mercedes. At least now it’s paved…
Otherwise, it goes on a barge or transport ship to ANC. Pretty much the primary way everything of size gets to Alaska. Seattle is the “Sam’s Club/Costco” of Alaska. If you want something, you jump on a plane and make a day trip of it. Lots and lots of shippers/brokers there managing stuff going to and from Alaska. Much like Miami and South America and the Caribbean. -D > On May 14, 2019, at 4:11 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > An idea comes to mind . . . > > Is there a market for older Mercedes in Alaska? > > Clay could "restore" them in Seattle and drive them north to visit the missus > and then fly home. > Periodic short visits might be more valuable than long term residence in the > north. > > > > On 14/05/2019 1:16 PM, G Mann via Mercedes wrote: >> "Near" is a relative term, in this case, relative to forced servitude in >> frozen AK winter, with zero access to Mercedes, parts, PNP's, or DIY >> pleasures.
