Horseless Carriage has enclosed trucks and specializes in moving expensive
and exotic cars. I'm not familiar with any of the others. 

You might also try your local household moving companies.  Sometimes they
have a partial load and there's enough room for a car.  They might give
you a break on the price if you wait to ship when they have room. 

Good Luck.
