I know people have had cars shipped across the states.

I was wondering what company people have used. I am trying to get a quote from Oregon to Ohio, however the 75 duster doesn't have front suspension. I was going to put some 4x4 bolted to the bumper brackets with some caster wheels. The rear end is still there.

Any help would be appreciated. I googled auto transport, but it all looks fake. lol.

Thanks!
 
I think you may run into a little difficulty without having the factory front end on the car. The transport companies will need to roll your car up onto their trailer, ramps, etc. I'd be worried about those tiny wheels not being able to roll up and over much of a 'bump'

I was thinking about that too. Dang, might not be with it.
 
I got a bunch of quotes from U-ship.com. Most of them were agents rather than the actual transporter & I've read of horrors going that way so I disregarded any that weren't the actual shipper. One agent was pretty aggressive, had to shut him down hard. Overall the experience was good, transporter that I found makes regular runs up and down the West Coast.

Most regular car transporters would not be able to load the car safely.

Would think you would need a regular car hauler trailer that has a flat bed and ramp door/gate to load and it would cost more than a multicar transporter

On the multi car they load and unload cars as they cross the country, an Inoperational vehicle is a real pain for them, one they cannot control almost impossible.

I have hauled my car like you are saying in my own enclosed and open trailer as I was building my car. Much different than hiring someone to move it cross country.
