<VV> Transportation

[cfm]

Mike:
I am not qualified to answer your specific question about towing but I can comment on having one transported. Last year I had a car shipped from Seattle to Wisconsin. I found a broker in Florida to find my best price, called Crossover Auto Transport. Once I agreed to their quote, and I shopped around too, it was set. Then they found someone for me, and that was two russian truck drivers, operating as Transporter, Inc. once the car came, I paid them direct on the spot $610 and the broker $150. It was a standard open trailer trailer truck (like how new cars are delivered). They did door to door service, with a rolling (non-running) corvair. Now if you wanted an enclosed trailer, I'm sure costs only go up. And considering the cost of diesel no and then, I am sure there is some inflation on that number now too.
I recently went to MN (from WI) and picked up a convertible with my pickup truck and a pull behind trailer and even then I spent $330.00 on gas alone there and back.
FWIW, chris mann

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.  He's another thought.  Could a 140 
automatic flat-tow a coupe for, say, 2500 miles or so without too much 
trouble, provided the 140 automatic is in good shape?

I'm trying to figure out a good way to get a car(or two?) from California
to 
Georgia without spending the King's ransom on fuel.  No the car being towed

doesn't run.
