 I think most cars can be shipped for about $500.00 cross country. I am not
 sure if the not running part maters or not..

I had a 1964 Type 34 shupped from San Diego to Dallas in 1998 for $850. I 
also had
a 1955 Oval window shipped from Ohio to Dallas in 1998 for $950, and a 1952 
Zwitter
shipped form Ontario to Dallas in 2000 for $2,400 (I got screwed).

It doesn't pay to ship cars. It is more expensive from north to south than 
from west to east. The transporters will tell you that. They have a reason 
for it, but I think it's really because it's all that the market will bear.
