I have had several streetrods shipped and used the Fedex without a problem. I had the drivers cell phone number and gave me updates on a regular bases.

Wait for the weather to get better and go get it yourself--A lot cheaper and a fun road trip to boot--trailer or drive --i vote drive--my 2 cents worth--Glenn

Intercity Lines - also a top-notch quality carrier.

DAS shipped a car for me and it was not a door to door (I should have done more research before hand) - the car sat outside for 3 days at a terminal waiting for truck to arrive and move it to a terminal where I had to pick it up. They were the reccomended carrier by eBay at one time and had lots of business, but not all positive end results.
Try calling Mike McKim - 213-925-7649 - he's movinmg my 64 (again) and did Ken Smith's 65. He's one of the best.
and here's a link (posted today) on the topic of DAS in CFOT - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=2010336

Hi Jibb, I recently shipped a 61' resto-vette from Las Vegas to NY. I used Horseless Carriages and could not be more pleased with there service. If anyone needs to store a car for a short time in Vegas try Classic&Collectible Cars, great people. Good luck!

I can only say that Intercity did a great job for me, very well known, reliable and easy to deal with. Most mentioned above probably fit the same description also. Intercity was great for me...

I only had the one experience with them back in 2002 and like I said door to door and no problems. I could have been lucky. As someone else posted they were the preferred Ebay vendor back then which I where I got the name.

Email/contact BigDave33. He bought my 67 in Nov 05 and had it shipped from RI to Seattle. I recall him being happy with his transporter.
