I actually submitted requests for bid there when I bought the GT3 Cup...

I got a number of replies from people, and a few fully met the criteria. In the end I got a better deal for a referral and went with Sunday Auto Transport. Highly recommended. Good price and GREAT service and professionalism.


Funny story.. ...and this time they were putting together the pilot for Shipping wars. Their producer wrote me and asked if I would consider signing up to let them film my shipment for their new program documenting this whole business. It was the aforementioned television show.

I thought about it quite a bit but in the end, declined. Main reasons were the compensation only covered about 10% of the shipping cost (about .01% of the value of the car). Knowing that these reality type shows thrive on conflict I figured the outcome would be:

1) The car was damaged or put through some trauma to add drama to the show:
2) If #1 didn't happen, they would make the new owner look like a total jackass or goober
3) If #1 or #2 didn't happen, it would never air, then what would be the point.

I could just imagine watching the episode and seeing some okie truck driver wiping out a $1000 Tilton clutch driving the car into the trailer and then through clever editing making me look like a total fool (as I gleefully received the car) on camera.
