I might be shipping the 914 soon. has anyone here used a shipping company that they were pleased with?

I have gotten several quotes on the internet ranging from 700-1100 for the range I'm looking at... with 800-850 being most common.

so, who have you used? any issues? cost?

When Ferg bought my 911 he sent Lamb Transport to pick the car up.

It wasn't running and we had to push it out backwards from the garage, turn it & send it down to the loading platform. Driver used utmost care (fleece gloves & a pair for me to help). Loaded & locked down, he gave me a preview of the others in the van, including a Nova 427 drag racer bound for Australia (gorgeous!).

What I also liked about Lamb was that there were no markings on the van. No signals to road pirates that there were megabuck vehicles inside.

Don't know what the cost from Philly to Colorado was, but Ferg seemed to be good with it.

I'll use them to get my teener to Cleveland later this year.
