Hello All,
    I am most likely going to be buying a new car, well new to me, that is located in Arizona. I am in Raleigh, NC. I am going to have to have it shipped. Does anyone with experience have any advice or recommendations. I've done some googling on it. There seem to be a lot of choices.

Thanks,
Ken

Depends if you want enclosed or open transport. The downside to open transport is obviously bug guts and other summertime stuff.

I've used Passport Transport in the past. The were once independent and bought out by FedEx, and are very well regarded among nice car enthusiasts as they handle plenty of high end toys.

Another company is Horseless Carriage. Again well regarded for handling collectors cars and other valuable rides.

Sweet. They sound like good options. The car I'm looking at is a '57 Bel Air. I'd prefer enclosed, but it's not required.

Let me know what results you get! I need an auto shipper too.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.
