Default Shipping a corvette

Has anyone ever shipped a corvette. I entered an inquiry into the Internet and was indicated by brokers and I did not get a warm feeling.

Contact Intercity. I used them to get my trade-in up to NH and the new car brought down.

Highly recommended and they give a Forum discount.

Plycar transported mine (enclosed) from MD to NE last fall. Very prompt and professional.

Go with Intercity. I did the broker thing one time and it was not worth the hassle and time wasted. Since then I've shipped my car with Intercity twice always with zero problems and perfect service. They actually just picked my car up again on July 3rd in CA and dropped it off last week in MI again with zero problems. When it comes to the major enclosed car shippers they are certainly imho at the top of the list!

good luck...after everything was said and done I just road tripped my car instead. It was 1150 miles (and did it all in one day). It was a blast doing it and a lot cheaper. The price difference was enough to buy new tires and change my oil.
