Recovery recommendations for a new restoration
I have a lead on a '65 coupe body that is sitting in sand in the Vegas desert. The last owner disassembled it and sold off most of the mechanics including the front and rear suspensions. If I want it, I have to take care of the transportation on my own. I'm trying to figure out how to get it "towed" and placed in my garage (about 20 miles) without causing any further damage. I haven't been able to find anything reasonably priced locally. I don't have time to get a proper frame dolly shipped without spending a stupid amount of money on shipping. Even if I did, I don't think it would be secure enough to stick it securely to a flatbed. I don't really have any experience with moving something like this and this will be my first resto, so If anyone has and bright ideas they would be appreciated.

take your jacks with you and some 3/4 plywood to put the jacks on so they do not sink into the dirt/sand. jack it up and put some 4x4's or 6x6's under the entire length of the car. you will need to figure a way to securely fasten them to the car. this will make the car a sled that a roll back tow truck may be able to pull onto the bed of the tow truck. i have done this with sheds and heavy machinery before. good luck.
