want to save a 1964 barracuda near tahoe/reno. need to get it home

My man Kyle who came and tried to drive his sweptline home got a quote of like 2700 bucks to rent a hauler OUT OF CALIFORNIA to TN. Seems CA is a little short on U-hauls as everyone is LEAVING! He got it transported cross country for about $700.

Last year my cousin's son-in-law left SoCal to pick up a U-haul in Las Vegas. Even with the mileage charge it was cheaper to Idaho, A LOT cheaper...
