JP Logistics or Intercity. Used both several times, no issues, pricing very similar

If that doesn't work out, give Jim a call:

Jim Bergeron
Planning
www.intercitylines.com
jim@intercitylines.com
800-221-3936 x205

They are a Rennlist sponsor (911 Forum).
But even with my Rennlister discount &
repeat customer status, it cost me $1995
for them to pick up a '73 914 2.0 I bought
in North Carolina & deliver it to me here in
Arizona last September. But who knows,
you might get 'Loki' again!

Only use these carriers for my cars. Sold one once and the buyer wanted to save a few bucks on shipping a 1 of 600 Porsche. This is what he received.

I've also had great service from Intercity Lines.
Roughly about $1/mile for enclosed.
The buyer should arrange their own transport.

I only use Plycar to ship cars nowadays. If it's the New York to LA route than Plycar is a great choice, they have trucks running that route every day.

LOL...i am a big fan of Mclaren F1 Roadcar (late 90's one) but not into the new ones...
They gave me a discount coz i am their customer since i own a Mini and M3 and also the VP of the dealership that owns Rolls, Mini, BMW, Mclaren and Lambo is my neighbor and is in fact a big GT3 fan.
We both meet at cars and coffee and talk cars. He knows that i am getting a Lava Orange Gt3 which seems like is his fav color
