911 Shipping Recommendation
Hi,
I just accepted a position in Austin, TX so I am looking for a recommendation on car transport for my '69. The car is need of paint and body work so I am completely comfortable having it moved on an open truck. I've done a bit of research and have read some horror stories about DAS, but other than that I am still in the discovery phase. All comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Sam

Check out Intercity Transport. They moved my 911 from Denver to Detroit- no problems.

sammygon1,
I also just had a 911 shipped from Wisconsin to metro Detroit area myself with Intercity and they were GREAT. Very professional. They delivered my car to a shop that I wanted it sent to and it was no problem what so ever. I highly recommend them. They were also one of the cheaper quotes that I got. rford3678 85 Carrera |

Intercity is coming on Friday to pick up my 997. They are crazy busy right now so you'll probably have to schedule it a week or two in advance.
I've heard good things also about Fedex Auto Transport. They are usually about the same price as Intercity from what I'm told. |

Intercity moved mine from California to Maryland a while back. It was one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had.

I would highly recommend Intercity Lines as well.
They carried a BMW across the country for me last year, and were great to work with. Tim |

One observation regardless of shipper.
Make sure you're there when they "Cinch" down you car. To avoid any suspension, sway bar, bumper damage, tire/fender rubbing. Show them where to attach any/all straps & don't let them "Herc" on them. My two cents from experience. Richard |

Things is DAS "terminal to terminal enclosed" is like 1/3 the cost of any others... But they have a spotty reputation... I've used them three times for 5 cars total, never once had a problem... But some people have, so I can't cast a vote....
