Just be careful getting shipping quotes for any vehicle. There are a lot of sites that you can ask for a quote and you'll get some interesting numbers. Half of the "shipping companies" actually just farm it out to whoever will do it cheaper and you can end up with a real POS company hauling it. NJ to TX should easily cost $750 by a reputable company on a car. If you want enclosed, the price goes up. CA to NJ enclosed is probably $1500 minimum but you get a quality company that won't mess up your vehicle. I think I paid around $750 for that L78 Camaro coming from Ontario but they were highly recommended and they were real pros. And the truck driver told me most of the cars were rejected at the border for bad paperwork or did not pass inspection. I've seen cheap haulers put magnetic "trailer" lights on the back of the car for brake lights. The 1968 Camaro I had shipped from OK came in covered in oil because the POS Jeep Cherokee above it on the trailer leaked the whole way through a rain storm! The Ebay shipping quote thing is not something you want to even think about. Your best bet is to ask for recommendations or even get someone you know that is willing to do it for a realistic fee. Buying local can really save all the hassles though.
