Did he use ACME Shipping Company....or someone reputable....thats the question.
I would remove the TB for the trip and disconnect the battery if the shipper has the car keys. OR....FedEx the car keys to the new owner so he has them when the car arrives to unload it.
Shippers have been known to take cars for a spin at their rest stops. And I know of one that was damaged real bad because they took it for a ride and red lined it a million times bouncing off the limiter.

Did you already get the money for the car? You sure it's not some kinda scam?
I was selling a bike on Craigslist a while back and someone contacted me asking to buy it without ever seeing it. They said that they would paypal me the money and they would send "someone" to come pick up the bike. I googled the persons email and it was a scam, just as I had suspected.

Its all legit! I have already been paid on the car. Sold it for $3950 & then picked up a cheap catback for $60 & spent $60 getting it welded up & also got front & rear sway bars for $40 bucks, The buyer also paid for the exhaust & swaybars for the car as well.
He said he already paid the shipping company up front. Im worried there gonna just take his money & run. But again its not my problem. But I feel some responsbilty to him to make sure he gets his car.
Im gonna mail him his title. Not much I can do about the keys cause im sure when they come pick it up they will want to keep the keys to the car.
