Go to Intercity's website and request a quote. It can't get any easier.

Another Intercity shill! ^^^^ 😃😃😃

I've never been disappointed using Uship.com ☆☆☆☆☆ the 5-Star shipper, for ALL my valuable auto shipments. They're the fastest, safest, most reliable, and least expensive way to ship very quickly. ON your timetable.

He's shipping a top... not a car.

Call Fedex and get a quote. Give them the dimensions, weight, etc.

Are you shipping a C7 targa top, or a C7? A targa top would depend on size of your box, I would definitely oversize it to allow for plenty of packing to help avoid damage.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to know about ALL your valuable auto shipments that make you such an authority on the subject? You've owned two Corvettes (75 coup and 2017 base Stingray) over a 43 year period. You've also spoke of an old Caddy and Mercedes sedan. What have you actually had Uship transport?

Regardless of where you ship it, you will have to get the top crated so that it does not get damaged during shipment. Plus, you will have to pay for the crate, which is custom made for the dimensions of the targa top. OR you may get lucky and find an empty targa top crate at your local dealership instead.

Check with your local UPS Store, they will pack and ship your top for you and it's guaranteed against lost and damage.
