Thank you. I searched for "car shipper" before posting the thread and didn't see anything. I should have scrolled down further and would have seen the link you provided.

Have used Intercity twice. They are a sponsor on this forum and give forum discounts.

I've used www.exoticcartransport.com twice. I was very happy with the price and service both times. Intercity is also excellent.

I used Angels Moving Autos last time due to the route and the fact that I had lots of extra parts including a big block motor, that most shippers would not take. It worked out well and the price was very reasonable. However, they're a broker, which I try to stay away from. They just post your information on a board and wait for shippers to bid. Companies like Exotic Car Transport and Intercity are shippers, so you're dealing directly with the people who are moving your car.

I've used Intercity twice and was very pleased. The second time, just last October, we were getting ready to relocate to Arizona from California and had them show up with an empty truck so they could haul '6' cars for us.

Have used Intercity and Reliable. Would use either again, but first call would be to Intercity to check availability.

Please note that when shipping with big outfits, it all depends on scheduling. They'll probably be focused on Carlisle coming up, so it might be a wait no matter who you go with.

This is not true about us. We have been in the business for over 10 years and have built relationship with hundreds of carriers around the States and Canada. We simply call one of our carriers who have proven themselves reliable over the years and check to see if they can take our car. If not, we try our next carrier on the list. We rarely post a car on the board. And when we do, we do extensive research to make sure they are credible, have good ratings and aren't new in the business.

To the OP: We'd love to help you transport your vehicle Contact us to get a quote.

Another shipper I talked to said he saw my car posted on the board. But I completely understand because there were a LOT of extra parts with the car... a big block motor on a cart, the original wheels and tires, the front bumpers, and an extra set of side pipes. Everyone I called didn't want anything to do with all those parts, so I'm happy you were able to find someone who could ship the parts with the car.

As I said, the price was reasonable and, aside from having antifreeze drip all over my car from the car above, I was happy with the service.
