Use one of the companies that transport classic or antique vehicles in an enclosed trailer. Fed Ex owns one but I do not know what name they use. Perhaps a call to 800 go fedex could get you that answer.

DAS car transport.

Last year I used DAS car transport to ship my nephew's Acura TL from LA to Baltimore (it take 2 weeks to get to the East Coast, pick up the car in Virginia, DAS terminal (Falls Church or Alexandria ?), cost $750.00), you can track you car on the internet everyday to see the progress of where the car transport truck is. DAS wash the car, inspect the car at their station, sign off the paper (or any claim if it HAD any damage while shipping),before drive away. We are happy with them. Google DAS, they have many drop off & pick up locations thru the US (door to door delivery cost up to $200.00 more). Regards.
