Hope you all are well. I am trying to ship a 68 Camaro from Winter Park, FL, 32751 to San Jose, CA., 95129. This car must be shipped enclosed and I am in a BIG HURRY to get the car here. Anyone heading west soon? Or, anyone know of a reliable (like Reliable) carrier that can grab the car quick and rocket it out to CA. The car is ready to go right now. Please let me know by sending me a PM or posting here.

Many thanks,:worship:
Chris

Whatever you do, Get it all in writing before making a deposit. My buddy shipped a car from Vegas to Indy, took almost a month for them to pick it up and deliver.
My car from NJ to Indy took a week or two for pickup and delivery. Mine was supposed to be 3 days.

Both were open carriers, which we knew going in.

Just beware, a lot of companies are just Brokers and they contract with other companies. It seems the Brokers lie to get your $$.

Good Luck

BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS! Like he said a lot of these companies are just 3rd party brokers. I had a big problem in the past where the broker took a deposit then the deal took a crap and the broker wouldnt give a refund. Also the timing is never a guarantee! its usually a few days earlier or later for pickup. Ask lots of questions and get it in writing!

I've used Sancrest twice recently for enclosed transport . They are Florida based, and didn't contract the job out. Great service on both occasions. http://www.sancrest.com

Call Hillbilly.http://www.hillbillyautotransport.com/ He specializes in classics hot rods ect. Be carefull about ending up on the broker sites. My Email got on one 2 months ago and I still am getting 2-3 emails a day asking if I am ready to ship my car thats been in my possession for 2 months. The first 2 days I have over 100 calls and texts

Try L.A.Prep. They make regular runs between California and Florida.
