Any Info On Having A 164 Transported

[CMalfa]

Does anyone have any useful information or references on what to do or not do when having a 164 transported by a trucking firm from one part of the country to another (i.e. where to chain it down, etc.)?
I've found a great car, I just don't want it to be damaged in the process.

I would add to Jason's remarks about flat bed towing, the following:

Don't have the tower keep the e brake slightly on when pulling the car up the ramp. Some say they have to do this for liability reasons.

And, never let them stay, "the car has to remain in gear when on the flat bed at all times".
If they cannot be persuaded by the various reasons for this, cam timing and cost for repair from damage caused by a slipped belt, then I get another company to tow the car.
