I see. Yeah I'm not really concerned with time as long as it's less than a month haha. As long as the car is being taken care of.

I'm still looking for an auto shipping service. Must be able to ship a roller.

 I still say good luck. It's 2.00 a mile for a non running vehicle.  :brickwall:

Last week I shipped my Superbird from Louisville KY area to the new owner in San Diego. It cost $2020 through Reliable Transportation so less than $1 a mile. I have used Roadrunner transport (never again) and some other company. Reliable was dealing only with the company (not a broker), talked with driver 3 times and the new owner talked to driver twice. Summary- I will never, ever again deal with anyone but Reliable (no they did not pay me for this reference!).

The Bird was running, but they do ship rollers I think.

Good luck

I went ahead and sent for a quote from reliable. I figured it couldn't hurt to get an idea.

But...was your car running ?

The car i got a quote for is a running driving car.

I got a quick response from Reliable Carriers. $1860 for an enclosed trailer from A to B. I'm pretty happy with that quote, all things considered. Anyone else have any experience with them? Advice? I'll be calling my back tomorrow to beg them for money.

This may be too late but,
This is company I used.
In 2016, my non running 1969 Charger, from San Bernardino CA, to Bloomingburg NY, in an enclosed transport, it was $1200 bucks.
$800 if I went with open transport.


Company name is: Deluxe Transport Inc
                             135 Dickinson Hill Road
                             Russell, MA 01071

When I bought car, I called some brokers, and they hooked me up with this guy.
Took 3 days, and again, car did NOT RUN, and enclosed transport from CA to NY, was $1200bucks.
I thought that was very good price, but it was December of 2016.
Hope this helps, and GOOD LUCK!!!!

I'm just wondering! Don't you have TRAINS to ship stuff like that?

Well, maybe not a roller, but an operative car?

Trains haul very heavy things. Tanks, Coal and a ton of new cars. Never heard of a private owner doing business with the railway.  :shruggy:

In Spain you can get a platform to ship your car or even make moves with containers. Dunno the proceedment but I know is posible.

I think non-running just makes shippers work more, has to be on bottome level and they can't move anyting around

And it's almost double the cost.
