I am interested in shipping an entire car body. It has nothing on it, not even glass or fuel lines. Just the body itself.

Does anyone have any good ideas as to how to ship that across the country

I'd rather not have to put it on a suspension or anything as that's just wasted effort.

The 928 without bumpers is about 14 feet as I recall and less than 6 feel wide.

I was thinking a metal shipping container would be cheaper? If I do a non-op I think it would need the suspension and wheels on it?

If you don't care about the paint on the body you could ship it uncovered as a non-op car maybe? Bolt on some ghetto *** wheels (like a dolly I mean)

Wood crate it.

Mark A's got a rear crossmember outfitted with a pair of caster wheels on it, we used it to move the Holbert car shell around after gutting it. Do something similar with a 4x4 and casters bolted to the rear LCA bolt holes in front and you've got a rolling chassis that can be winched onto a flatbed trailer, then shipped by open transporter (?)

What about one of those pod units?

The pods are weird. They seem inexpensive, but it ain't. More like 3000

From where to where? I can help from Riverside, CA to Iowa.

From where to where ?? and why? there is no shortage of 928 bodyshells/donor cars in most areas.

Best way to ship is send yours to the scrap metal here, and save one from the scrap metal there.

For odd shipping, I've had some good experiences using uship.com and negotiating something directly with the truck owner.
