Careful, John - make sure it isn't a Katrina car. Of course you've thought of that.
Buy one for me while yer at it.

I never thought of that. How can I tell?

John,
Look at the cats. I've seen several Katrina cars. They can paint over the other body and chassis parts, but paint don't stick to well to 600*f catalytic convertors for very long! If they look like they were in salt water, then they probably were. That car was built on my birthday - must be a good one!

If it has ever has had salt water inside FYI the fuse block will turn green..Theres also a national registry of vehicles that were impacted by Katrina. Right after the storm there were teams of LEOs whom had the job of entering vins of any vehicle in the storms path...

AAA autovantage shipped my Firebird to me from Tennessee when I moved here. it costs $700 for an uncovered trailer. Dependable Auto Shippers is also a good one.

I have used DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers) several times to ship cars I bought out of state. No problems.

Just used DAS to ship the Kenny Brown#1x car from Chicago to Hawaii, no problems from what the new owner has said. www.dasautoshippers.com (http://www.dasautoshippers.com), or 800.826.1082, offices and locations nationwide. Good luck!
Good to see DirectedBy's marauder is gonna go to a good home, and at a great price.
Im not wrong, am I John?

Well, I found a Blue MM out in East LA with 50,000 miles. Corporate car and it is supposed to be "virgin" and not a mark on it.
Anyone in Los Angeles area that can go look at it for me?

I sold my '66 mustang convertible and the buyer used DAS to ship it from NY to california - got a call from him, told me that they smashed up the rear quarter mangled the bumper and the brakes were gone.
Try Federal Express - believe it or not they will give you online quotes for shipping both covered and uncovered as they only ship door to door.

But whatever you do - make sure that you are covered even if you buy the shippers own coverage, they will try to limit their payout to some BS amount

Nevermind everyone. After talking to the bank today, there will not be another Marauder in the garage...

Sorry to hear it's not working out for you. If anything should change, I'm only about 40 miles from Los Angeles.
Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.
Hmm... Then again, another blue MM... Wonder if The Warden would divorce me... :P

I've used DAS, not real wild about them. Took a month to get a pickup from Maryland to Texas.
