Default Where do I go to get a car shipped?

I found a 300z tt shell for my friend and we plan on dropping in a new motor in the car. The car is located in delaware and i live in nyc. Where do I go to find a company that will ship/tow the car to nyc? Also do you guys know the estimated price for this? Thanks

Shabo, there are a lot of shipping co's out there. When I was looking for my SC I had shipping lined up from CA to NY and the quote was around $800-900 and travel time about 2 weeks. I imagine it would be at least half of that. I did a general search under google. Shipping You'll have to call or email these people for a quote.

You might be better off renting a trailer from U-Haul and getting the car yourself for the price and time they'll charge you. It might be slightly cheaper. My uncle has a second house in Del and it doesn't take me that long to get there at all.

get a uhaul and load that sucka in the back (no need for the transporter), u may need to get a flatbed to load and unload.

Intercity lines is the best you can get; however, you got to pay to play. I just got quoted $1500+ to transport my car to the east coast.
