The FAQ's: Transporting a Non-Running Vehicle

Transporting a car that does not run really isn't the hardest thing to do, but it can complicate matters a bit as not all auto transport carriers can actually pick them up and move them. Transporting in-op cars requires a special winch, which allows carriers to load the vehicle onto their truck without having to drive it (since it doesn't run it can't be driven). Non-op cars that cannot roll typically cannot be moved by most carriers, so make sure that there's at least some way for it to roll (if it doesn't have tires on it, put some on). Chassis are going to be even more difficult to ship, as they cannot roll, brake or steer - chances are your representative will have to find a flatbed tow service that will be able to load it onto their truck.
