Well, here's the latest in my saga. I dropped DAS after they told me today that, although I paid for door-to-door service in an enclosed trailer, they were sending a tow-truck to tow the car from the seller's house to their terminal 100 miles away. The only reason I found out that that is what they were doing is that the tow truck company saw a note from DAS that the car didn't have a roof, and it happened to be raining there today. A lucky break for me, I guess.
I ended up using Stewart Transport, which is the company that is sort of the unofficial transport company of FFR. It's a little odd, because their trailers are setup for delivering kits more so than complete cars, so they don't have any kind of lift to pick the car up. So, I have to have a flat bed tow truck available on each end to pick the car up and roll it in and out of the trailer. A little odd, but they assure me they do it all of the time, and their trailers are built to handle completed cars.

I'm buying this car:
FOR SALE FFR Mark II. It's in Thurmont, MD. I'd have liked to have known about that club before I bought it, but I'm very comfortable that the car is in excellent shape.
One thing I forgot to mention that I did was to have a company (SGS Automotive Services) do an inspection of the car. It's pretty cool, because they give you an online inspection report after they check the car out. Since there was no way I could go there myself to check it out, it put me a little more at ease knowing someone (hopefully) qualified had checked it out.
Thanks,
Darren
