From where...East, West or Gulf coasts? To where in Europe?

In my vintage car magazines I've read that it cost about $5000 for a car in a container from the west coast to the UK. But with a Stearman you'll have to build a cradle for wings, etc.

You could get a hold of the Canadian Warplane Heritage? They shipped a Stearman to the UK this time last year.
