Man, you are finding some good deals!
I used a transporter once, I had a Firebird with no engine, trans or interior. Sold it to a guy in New York for $400. (I only paid $50). Anyway, because I went through a broker, the driver didn't know what he was picking up- when he saw it, he said " No way that hunk of junk is going in my truck! I have polished wood floors! I haul million dollar Ferraris!". Then he went back to his truck! This was a huge 18 wheeler, think it was Horseless Carriage Transport.
Well I guess he called someone, because fifteen minutes later he was back at my door apologizing. He ended up hauling off my derelict Firebird in his high dollar transporter. Even gave me a tour of his truck. Pretty nice guy, it turned out.
