Just picked up a C6 in San Diego and need to have it shipped to Portland Oregon.

Can anyone give me some recommendations?

Mcnutt transport was really good with my Vette. They picked it up in Dallas on a Monday and it was at me door in Cali on Thurs.

Interesting .. I'm talking to Kerbeck today about getting a new vert and asked him about shippers. Here is what he emailed me. Hope this helps.

These folks just hauled a Jeep from Florida to Ohio for me and were excellent! Driver was on time, very professional and they were very reasonable. Highly recommend them!

It's very tempting but I almost hate to put another 1200 miles on the car. Of course I did buy it to drive it.

Not bashing but why worry about the miles you put on it? I bought mine because I enjoy driving it. I'm not going to let it sit in the garage and look at it. Then you leave a nice low mileage Vette for the next owner and you haven't enjoyed it. I just traded my 02 C5 in with almost 60k miles during the 3+ years I owned it. My C6 is a little over a month old and has 1600 mi on it. My suggestion is enjoy it!

The old standard big three were Horseless Carriage, Intercity and Passport. Of those, I chose Passport and was completely satisfied. Fellow in Dallas had his C6 from kerbeck done by Passport-same experience.

Since my time, many other transports have been introduced but some still have their great reputations and aren't inexpensive. Just be careful out there....

I think you are doing the right thing. The initial break-in is 500 miles. It is mighty hard to get on the highway for such a distance and stay under 55. I know, I bought mine in St. Louis and drove it back to Arizona. That 500 miles seemed like forever.

I used Autobahn Transport recently to move my three toys from Nashville, TN to Dallas, TX and they were great. They were recommended to me by LPE. www.autobahnusa.net
