several transport companies are listed in services section of Hemmings Motor News each month. Many of them have already been listed by other respondents here. In the scheme of things, the transpo cost of your car is a small piece of the big dollar puzzle.

In jan i had a recently purchased classic car transported from Denver to Detroit, 1300 miles and cost bids ran from $850 to $1500 . Some promised immediate delivery, others said 'it will take us up to 2 wks to mix a load going your way'. I opted for the immediate delivery and paid more. Why ? easy, i had paid for the car and did not want it sitting at someone else's place for 2 weeks.

I used Rich Lacey who is a CC advertiser (rich's transportation). paid more than several other quotoes , but had my car delivered in 4 days from day of purchase ! fortunately for me rich was in denver area at the time coincidentally with a space open on his trailer.


i was pleased with rich lacey, who with his brother, do an 'as promised' delivery schedule....i have friends who used intercity and reliable, but had to wait for laod make up, delivery was fine, but there was a time delay.

with your location you should be able to buy a car anywhere and not spend more than $1500 in transportation costs, maybe less. go4it. bill
