Car Shipper in Atlanta?

Looking at buying a racecar in Atlanta area and I wonder if the locals have a car shipper that comes highly recommended.

I'm in Chicago area and I certainly could drive the 10 hrs. down in my soft-as-a-cloud-riding Chevy 2500 HD truck, pick up the car and trailer it back another 12 hrs. home. But if it could be car-haulered for a decent buck and safely, I might consider it.

Who knows, I may buy it with a trailer and that'd squash the shipper idea. But I thought i'd ask just in case.

thanks,
Kevin

You didn't mention if you wanted an open or enclosed trailer.
I use Inercity and have used passport and have always been happy.

Yes, my fault. Should have said i'd prefer enclosed if i'm paying to ship it anyway.

They have a great rep with people I know who've used them, go into and through Atlanta fairly often.

Here is another that I can highly recommend. Shannon - 757-869-5055. I have used him up and down the east coast. I once needed a car moved from the Mid-west to NY and he took care of the arrangements for that as well.

+1 for these guys. I just used them for cross country shipping and they took good care of the car.
