I  requested 
several quotes and decided to go with Fedex Custom Critical  (yeah, Fedex 
ships cars!).  There were penalties for having a  non-running car, so the 
cost came to about $2K.

But this was not  door-to-door.  The rig is 85' long and could not negotiate 
the narrow  streets near the DC-MD border where I lived, so I had to flatbed 
the car  to meet the truck.  At the other end, the rig would get stuck in the 
 
canyon I am in, so I am renting a storage unit and Rags is living there  for 
the time being.

As stated, the rig was huge.  Dennis, the  driver, was a petrol-head and 
loves cars.  The trailer with all its  hydraulics and bluetooth enabled 
ramps/jacks etc alone cost $160K.   Very impressive.  Got the car loaded.  6 
days later, it arrives  absolutely unmarked and spotless.  Even though I 
drained the fluids  from Rags, it of course had to leave its mark in the rig, 
but all the car  spaces in the rig had oil collection places so no harm done.

All in  all, a great experience.  I would highly recommend Fedex Custom  
Critical should you ever need to ship your pride and  joy.





The reason FEDEX does such a great job is that they bought out Passport  
Transport from Robert Pass. It is the same trucks, drivers, etc. just different  
paint. It may cost a little more, but you certainly don't have to worry.
 
Robert started this industry and FedEx carries on his legacy. No one ever  
did it better.
