Do you do enclosed transport anywhere?

KPG, I think that you shouldn't be so modest and post some of those car pictures that you have collected.. He has definitely seen/moved some very interesting hardware..

the only large shippers i would use are intercity or horseless carriage. however it can be a PITA since they give you a week long pickup window and a week long delivery window.
thus, i've always chosen to go with private guys who use single car trailers. I highly recommend Gary Almond. This past time, Gary was out of the country so I went with Ron Brown who owns a Porsche performance shop in NJ. He picked up a car in Maryland for me and delivered it to West TX in 30 hrs. Both are top notch and treat your car as if it were there own. Can't say enough
Gary's email - galmond@almondexotictransports.com
Ron's email - foresthillexxon@msn.com

I went cheap and it sucked!!!!!!!!!!!
they punched a hole in my exhaust system and basically told me since I signed their
silly release form on the spot (noticed hole in muffler on way home--bad sound).
they told me it didnt matter what happened because I signed off. I was Pi**6d!!
Never again, oh and they damaged my buddy's Beck Spyder on same truck and same
time: Shilly Transport == Horse****!!

I would try Newman International (i used them for my last transport) at www.newmaninternational.com
Also thought that Fedex Critical at passport.fedex.com was decent.
