Depending on how much you are willing to pay:
Trulyvintage who is a member here, probably as trustworthy as anyone but I don't know how pricey he is compared to others.

Send him a PM and he might be able to fit it into his schedule.

Default Still looking

Tried truelyvintage and got a quote of close to 3000 dollars if not more ( 1900 miles Denver to Boston}. Not sure but think that I should be able to move it for closer to 1000. Are thier any large companies that do a good job? How about Reliable they do work with Mecum and Jackson Barrett? I would love to give this to a small business but I dont want to be taken. This is not a show car but think it should still be inclosed due to the time of year. Thanks in advance for any help or names.

I am continueing the hunt. Made a mistake today by filling out a quote request and got 30 phone calls and 30 emails in 30 minutes. I would use truelyvintage but for my car to much money. I would use them If it was a high end car in a minute. I have a quote from Reliable for 1700 which is high but what I can see a very good company. The only problem is they give you a 3 to 5 week window on when they can pick up your car.Any one used them before?

Living in Florida I see Reliable all the time. They seem to have nice trucks.
If you get a price under $1.00 a mile you're doing pretty good.

Just want to thank Jim from truevintage pointing me in the right direction. He also took the time to educate me on a lot of things you need to know before you enter into an agreement. I ended up useing a company called Straight roads llc.) (straightroads.com) He lives in Co and moved my 68 GTO inclosed 2000 miles for 1400 dollars. Pickup on Wednesday the 31 of Oct. and dropped off in my driveway five days later. First class company and I think I was lucky that he had a move with two others cars going to the east coast. If you need a move you can,t go wrong with Gary Straight or Jim, Doug

Thumbs up Glad you found a ride

Good to hear things worked out

Denver is tough to get hauling out of, but sometimes the stars line up
just right and you can get a good deal .....
