    Hi all,
    I found a 71 grabber on the web. 1500 and it looks great!!! Grabber Blue, floor shift auto with air. Never been painted or damaged. The car is in really good shape but has an oil pressure issue so it can't be driven to Indiana. I have checked the sites for transport companies and even thought of a Moving Truck and a trailer but all will be almost as much as the car! Any suggestions? The car is in the Dallas Ft. Worth area. Give me some ideas guys I really want this car but if I can't have it some one here should. Let me know if you have any ideas PLEASE!!!!! If no ideas and are interested in the car I can pass on the info.
    Thanks
    A very desperate

    Go get it. If you have a pick up truck or large sedan, you can flat tow it pretty easily. I drove all the way out to western MO from the east coast for a car. The cost of fuel has driven transporting cost way up.

    I shipped a car from OK to here. Ran about $600 to $700. To get it that cheap....the car must run. If it doesn't run...it costs more.

    I used Dependable Auto Shippers.
