Intercity is great. Also consider Thomas Sunday transporters.

I recently shipped my 930 from Reno to Waterford via intercity and they gave me the run around over promised and under delivered. The dispatcher would not return my calls whenever he promised to and while I know it is tough to schedule a load and coordinate things they did not once give me a straight answer. All in all the driver eventually called me and left his cell number and he was the only person in their organization to give me a straight answer. The car arrived in top nick and care was taken in the unloading process but I can't say that I would endorse intercity.

Intercity and or HorselessCarriage, I have used both over the last ten years....collectively maybe ten times....these two firms know what the hell they are doing...Not cheap but neither is a Porsche


Both were suggested to me by PCNA years ago by their logistics folks

Whatever you do, don't go cheap. There are lots of stories here about people that did and had all kinds of problems and damage to their cars.

You are spending lots of money on your car. Spend a bit more and go with a high end carrier. Worst case is that it takes a little longer than you want.

The other investment you should make is in a Rennlist membership!

I used Thomas Sunday from LA to Minneapolis, they were on time and very good to deal with. Highly recommended.
You can reach them at 800-541-6601

I am not affiliated with the company.

I have used Gary Almond, owner of http://almondexotictransports.com/ twice. Just a month ago when I sold my RSA and a year ago when I sold my Superformance Cobra. Gary is the owner/operator and takes his job very serious.....check him out.

Hope this helps,

Brian
