Default Shipping a car north from Atlanta

We have a car in Atlanta that we would like to ship up here.

I can fly and drive back but it will be a few weeks before the schedule will accommodate that.

Any suggestions/options?

It’s been several years since we have shipped a car so looking for any recent recommendations.

BTW: This is not a Porsche so open or enclosed is fine.

I do not have a specific advice, but I usually just do a search for shippers and get quote from several shippers. You can call call and talk to the dispatcher if you are so inclined. My experience is that mostly contract out.
I am in the process of doing that right now to get my latest purchase from MA to NJ.
If it is high end car, the usual suspects are high end shippers (i.e., $$$) who haver their own trucks.

Congratulations on your purchase, time to update your signature.

Do you mind sharing your leading shipping candidates?

This sounds like a great task for a retiree. PM Trak Ratt and see if he and the missus want to go have an adventure.

Nice Bullitt. The rare/speciality models of the SN95 are starting to come into their own - Bullitt, Mach 1, supercharged SVT Cobra. I always loved the Torq-Thrust replicas. I actually had a set on my old Ford Probe GT for a moment.
