1200 miles is a bit of a drive. Last time I helped with a project like that we rented a truck and a trailer and made the drive. Paid cash, winched the project car onto the trailer and headed home. Put a bunch of spare parts in the truck. It cost some bucks for rental fees and gas but probably less than paying someone to do it for us. Plus we didn't have to worry about wiring money or anything like that. It was $12K for a GTX project that was a few hundred miles away.
