    Hey guys. I am considering just shipping the 72 Grabber from Atlanta to Tampa. Any good or bad stories about certain shippers? DAS wants $615.00 to ship it and everyone else is around $400.00-$450.00.

    Thanks!
    Josh

    DAS will be your easiest to deal with.
    Wouldn't it be cheaper just to drive up and get it? (unless you don't have the time) Whats Tampa to Atlanta? 6-8 hrs or so?

    Yeah the thing is I have 4 car choices to drive...

    1. 2005 GTO
    2. 2003 Cobra
    3. 1979 Trans Am
    4. 1988 Mustang LX (very built)

    Once I figure the gas, round trip mind you, a hotel and driving another V8 back....$600.00 isn't all that bad. Ya know.....

    I sold a Maverick to a fellow board member and he took a bus from PA to here in Indiana. I picked him up at the bus station and he headed home in the Maverick. If you take a bus....expect several transfers and waiting in various bus stations. He brought a friend with him. It was cheap...but took about 21 hours to get here.
