1961 Impala – Reseda, CA to Commerce, MI


We picked up this 1961 Chevy Impala Convertible in Reseda, CA for delivery to the new owner in Commerce, MI. This is one fine car already, but the new owner is taking it one step further with plans on turning it into a "lowrider" show car. We will add follow up pictures to this web site when he has completed the transformation, so check back later!

1956 T-bird - Pasadena CA to Bend OR

We picked up this 1956 Ford Thunderbird, the result of a two-year restoration, in Pasadena, CA. The new owner in Bend, OR is not looking to hide this little beauty away - only bringing it out for shows - he will be driving it on a regular basis. Of course anywhere he stops will quickly turn into a show and tell. This car is a show all by itself. Check the picture of what's under the hood:

Vinatge trailer — Temecula CA to Oakley UT

The 1958 Shasta Travel Trailer seen here was bought from a vintage
trailer dealer in Temecula, California, where we picked it up for delivery.
Its new owner lives in Oakley, Utah, and that is where she will start
her future camping trips from in this collector's dream trailer.
It still needs some work inside, but is in amazing shape for its age.

Mazda Cosmo - Lakewood WA to Meridianville Alabama

We picked up this Mazda Cosmo (right hand drive) from a Mazda aficionado in Lakewood, WA for delivery to another Mazda collector in Meridianville, Alabama. I would also put the new owner in the class of aficionado. This car is a 1990 model and is believed to be one of only two or three properly/legally registered in the USA. In its new home, this lucky car (if one can say that about a car) will share the garage with 3 other collector-grade Mazdas.

1988 RX7 – Lakewood WA to Orlando FL

We picked up this 1988 Mazda RX7 in Lakewood, WA, and delivered it last week. This car will turn heads while burning up the race course for the new owner in Orlando, FL. Sitting in this car is like sitting in an airplane cockpit, because of all the custom gauges and gadgets.

This is a 1932 Ford Vicky with a Mullen's trailer. We delivered this little charmer to California for the happy new owner.

Collector's motorcycle - CA to AZ

This is a 1920 Indian Motorcycle that was owned and ridden by Steve McQueen, one of three he owned. The new owners in Arizona were the lucky bidders at auction...with a $140,000 bid. For this prize, who did they call for transport? Rofran Transport, of course!

Notice we transported this bike alone, in our enclosed trailer, as befitting something of this value.

Here is a close-up, showing the auction tag - yes, it really did belong to Steve McQueen!


Here is the auction site's info for this item (there are some more nice photos).

Corvair UltraVan - Washington to Utah

Our youngest daughter and son-in-law bought this Corvair UltraVan, serial #543, as a restoration project. They don't have enough space to really work on it, though, so they asked if we would store it for them temporarily.


You wouldn't believe how many looks and thumbs up we have gotten towing this unique looking van. Several people came up to get a closer look and ask questions. One couple stopped by our table in the restaurant in Baker City, OR (there weren't any other people in there, so they knew we were hauling it) and asked if that unusual motorhome was ours? So we talked all through lunch. You never know how you're going to meet new people!

If you are interested in the history of the UltraVan, look here; there is a "coffee table" book about them, too, showing them fixed up in various motifs, from 50s Western to Tiki Lounge.
