Default Interstate car transporting

Found my dream car, problem is it's a long way from home.

Just wondering what a rough price would be for transporting a ZC Fairlane from Adelaide to Central Coast/Sydney NSW. Can anyone recomend any good car carriers that won't damage the car. Also does anyone know of any internet sites that have an online quoting system.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers Scott

Just looked at airfares, didn't think it would be so cheap to fly down, $109 one way, This looks like the better option. Even if I choose not to buy the car it's only gonna cost me another $109.

Wonder how much petrol a 351 would chew through between Adelaide and Sydney. That will probbally bump the costs up higher than what it would cost getting the car shipped to my door.

Cheers Scott
