Default Shipping a lowered c5?! Need HELP!!

Ok I just recently took a new job in Houston Tx but live in Buffalo Ny.

The company offered to pay for everything to be shipped down there, but I can't find a car mover that will ship my vette for me!!

My car has about 3.5~4 inches of clearance. Can anyone help me out here? Anyone know of any guys that would be willing to ship it for me?

Looking to have it moved around the 5th of September.

Thanks!!!

Yeah call, Leslie & tell her Ken Smith sent you. She shipped my C5 race car I can guarantee your car has more clearance then my car does and they did a great job. I had to take the nose off to drive it into the shop.

Try these two companies - they're big in Canada...
L. Hansen's Forwarding
Searail Carriers
I don't believe they have any closed carriers but you could get a quote if they'll do it...

What about the household goods mover? When I was moving around many years ago I saw a lot of cars packed right in with the household goods.
