Thanks guys! After getting some quotes to have it moved I think I have pretty much made you my mind to just pick it up myself. Now I just need to hear back from some of the adds I ran about delivering a car as I go down there.

Phil,
Get on uship.com and you can probably find a load to haul down south. It is basically like ebay to bring shippers and customers together through their bidding process. I have used it twice successfully. Give it a shot.

Thanks guys....I didn't realize/never considered uship for trying to find a load.
....only posted mine there. I will investigate it some....who knows, maybe can start myself a part time job 
I did move a GMC van over 400 miles for a friend a couple months ago....and I know the vette will be less weight. The truck is a dodge 2500 cummins so shoudn't be a problem.
I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks again,
Phil

Drove mine when I bought it from Pensacola Florida to San Antonio Texas at the beginning of September 2012, it had no carpets, no weather stripping no AC, was hot and muggy as hell 
but I enjoyed the ride and even got a nice welcome to Alabama from a blond who was proud of her hooters, she had good reason to be too

I have used Exotic Car Transport (several times), Passport Transport, Long's Specialized Transport, and Sho-Tyme Enterprises and never had an issue. Show-Tyme is a single car hauler based out of Dahlonega, GA which might be in your vicinity.

…DFW traffic sucks. I didn't have brake issues on my '72, but I did have overheating issues. You probably saved yourself a lot of headache.
