Car shipper
Anyone have any recommendations on a car shipper? Have a 66 conv that I need shipped from Las Vegas to Philadelphia. Car had its motor replaced but came with the original motor on a stand and I'd like to have that shipped as well with the car. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

I've had 3 cars shipped by Masney Auto Transport out of Ocala, Florida recently. They are excellent.
Normally, I recommend Intercity but their availability has been spotty.

The last two times I needed a transport, the big names were reluctant to offer any sort of a schedule or time line. I attributed that to the big name auction houses needed transport services but that's only a guess.
I've used Intercity twice over the years and was very pleased but the last two times, they were unable to commit. Same for Horseless Carriage, Reliable and a couple others.
Back in '21 when I bought my 66 Roadster from a guy at The Villages in Florida, while waiting for one of the big companies to get back to me, I ran across a Specialty Car Shop down in Mesa here in Arizona that
had a number of out of state customers and they also had a Dodge Ram 4500 Truck and a nearly new Tandem Enclosed Trailer, and both husband and wife drivers had their CDLs.
Cost was almost identical to the quotes I got from the big name transport companies but at least I got the car home.
Maybe try to contact some custom shops in your area and ask who they use.
