Before selecting a transporter read this poor soules epic struggle to ship 
his 40's Chrysler at:

I had a Porsche 914 shipped from CA to PA and used a local carrier. During 
the trip it recieved light damage all over, lost it's roof and some hit/broke 
the engine bar causing the powertrain to drag on the ground. ~ $ 1,500 damage 
that was not there prior to shipment.   This was ~ 8 years ago and am waiting 
for the court mandated payment for damage.

Low buck carriers do not make the trip in one shot, your car may ride on 3 
different trucks and be loaded/unloaded many times.   Any insurance they tout 
are liable to be usless since it pays ~ 20 CENTS A POUND!!!!! 

It is better just to pay the money for a name carrier.  Any carrier that uses 
A-1, A Aardvark, or some other spelling to be first on the list is best to be 
avoided!
