WHO WE HELP
You've found the car. Now you've got to get it home in one piece.
Maybe you won a genuine muscle car at a Burns & Co or Chicane auction in another state. Maybe you bought an exotic privately and you’re not putting it on an open carrier with road grime and rocks coming off the truck in front. Maybe you’ve got a project car that doesn’t run, doesn’t steer and won’t roll, and three other transporters have already said no.
That’s the work we do. We move:
- Classic, hot rod and muscle car owners buying interstate, often straight off an auction floor.
- Exotic and supercar owners who want their car moved quietly, cleanly and without it sitting in a depot.
- Restorers shifting non-running project cars and resto shells between workshops.
- Dealers and auction houses delivering to a winning bidder or repositioning stock.
- Show and event car owners booked for Summernats, MotorEx or an All Ford Day and needing the car to arrive ready.
- Households relocating interstate with a garage-queen that doesn’t belong in the back of a removalist truck.
If the car matters to you, it’ll matter to us.
OUR STORY
Why We Started East Coast Towing & Transport
Bailey Macqueen started East Coast Towing & Transport to do one job properly: move people’s pride and joy in a fully enclosed trailer, door to door, with the owner himself on the other end of the phone.
The whole thing came out of a simple frustration with how this gets done elsewhere. Cars handed off between depots. Stupid fourteen-day delivery windows. Open carriers leaving stone chips and weather on a car someone has chased for years. Owners left in the dark for a week with no idea where their car is.
So we built the opposite of that. Enclosed only. No depots. Photos sent through while your car’s on the move. And a flat price up front, because mucking people around on price isn’t how we work. My price is my price.
In early 2025, Bailey’s brother Ash came on board with a second enclosed rig, so we can cover more of the country and keep the same hands-on standard on every job.
We’re car people first. You’ll find us at MotorEx, at Summernats and at the local meets, because these are the cars we’d want moved carefully ourselves. Every booking still goes through Bailey personally. That part isn’t changing.
OUR TEAM
Meet The East Coast Towing Team
Bailey Macqueen
Owner-Operator & Principal Driver
Bailey owns the business and drives the truck. He takes every booking himself, so when you ring up, you're talking to the person who'll be standing in your driveway with the ramp down. A genuine enthusiast who'd rather move a real GT-HO than just about anything.
Ash Macqueen
Driver
Ash is Bailey's brother and joined with the second enclosed rig in early 2025. Same standard, same care, second truck. Carries the load on the runs Bailey can't be on, so the operation can be in two places without dropping the personal touch.
OUR DETAILS
The Rigs, The Cover, The Details
This is the part most transporters keep vague. We won’t.
- Two fully enclosed, rubber-sealed, purpose-built trailers. Your car travels sealed off from weather, road grime and prying eyes. No open decks.
- 2.1m internal clearance, and we can load a car with as little as 50mm of ground clearance. Lowered, modified, slammed: bring it.
- Non-runners welcome. Doesn’t run, doesn’t steer, won’t roll? We take the jobs other carriers knock back.
- Transit insurance on every car we carry, no exceptions.
- ABN 14 688 682 144 (Macqueen Logistics Pty Ltd, trading as East Coast Towing & Transport).
- We move alongside trusted auction houses and dealers including Burns & Co Auctions, Chicane Auctions, 782 Motors and Australian Muscle Car Sales in Sydney.

“From my initial contact with Bailey to the delivery of my vehicles the service was outstanding. He took great care with everything and kept us informed along the way even putting the cars in the shed for my wife on arrival. Bailey is a credit to classic and prestige vehicle transport and I highly recommend his service.”
