Shipping a project car: Suggestions?

[A12pilot]

Welp, time to get Crunchy down here and I’m wondering the best way to do it. Part of me wants to rent a U-Haul and just jam down here with the parts in the back, car on a trailer, and do it on my own. But that comes with several pitfalls which the biggest is...I simply don’t wanna do that!

So does anyone out there know of anyone that hauls project cars, enclosed, along with parts (engine will be on a rolling cradle) that isn’t backed up until MArch of 2030 or later? This would be for a 1970 Cuda from around the Stewart, Newburg, NY area to the Glen Rose area Southwest of Ft. Worth.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!!!!

Cheers
Dave

The U-haul car trailers are really nice. I rented their pickup also, not ragging mine thru the mountains. The hotel staff was great and showed me a good parking spot for the security cameras. It was a fantastic trip.

Dave, you may want to check out uship.com and put all of your needs/requirements out there for full disclosure to a potential shipper. I think your needs aren't the easiest ones to accommodate like a running newer car with no parts, so you'll definitely get less carriers responding but the ones who do respond will know exactly what your job consists of. Just an idea. I used them a few times and so far, so good.

You know the saying.........If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Good info. Thanks guys! Yes, I know Lee... but it's more of a time issue. I guess we'll see what kind of quotes I get.
