Try Horseless Carriage.  Not the cheapest, but they have shipped two racecars for me with on damage and ahead of schedule.

I used Cobra Trucking Company based out of Long Island, NY.  The guys name is Serge.  I used him twice, no problems, ahead of schedule both times, and very resonable.
If he askes wo referred you, just tell him the guy in Willaimstown NJ with the Red (lizstick) Saleen.  He delivered it to me about a month ago.
888-98-COBRA. I have his cell too 646-322-6867.

Thanks for the reply:  Where did he deliver it to you from and how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking...I just sent a free quote into the horseless carriage place.  Thanks

DeMoise Trucking.   They always have the best price every time I check. My Saleen mustangs always feel like they are out of place when they show up because there are always a couple of Ferrari's and Lambo's inside. My S351 R did get to ride along with a 66 427 Cobra across country one time.
I have used them about a half dozen times over the last couple of years and have never had even one problem. You can call the driver who has your car on his cell whenever you want. They are first class all the way.

I paid 900 from Pheonix to Southern NJ.  That was through the broker too.  Now I have his card, and direct number.  Definitely would be less now.  Of course this is not enclosed.

I had mine shipped on an open trailer, and it is Lizstick red.  I had no problem at all.  I thought it was kind of expensive for the enclosed trailer.  I am sure there are problems that occur, just did not happen to me in 3 times having a vehicle shipped cross country.

Make SURE that before you release the car to be shipped, you get (1) a copy of the written contract for the shipment, and (2) the cell phone number of the actual driver of the car carrier.   I have shipped cars several times and the ONE time I did not get those two things in hand before I released the car to the shipping company, I regretted it dearly.

I recommend driving it of course...but other than that, I highly recommend an enclosed trailer. I had mine shipped from Texas to Northern Cali in an open trailer and it took me two weeks with three different professional detailers to get the damn marks and weathering off the paint!
