If you don't make the crate to big or heavy you could ship Greyhound. I received a MK 3 hardtop shipped that way. Crate was filled with home foam [expanding urethane] in plastic garbage bags. Top was not in perfect restored condition but suffered no damage from shipping. Crate made out of 1/2" plywood.

Kevin,
we ship large delicate electronics and use something similar to what Kurt suggested. We use a large cardboard box and place plastic bags around the object to be shipped and fill them with expanding foam, top, bottom, and 4 sides. Very secure and light weight and it can withstand lots of abuse. I've even shipped transmissions this way and it protects them well.

I have been shipped two tops through greyhound, both were unboxed, had been wrapped with shrink and bubble wrap with cardboard on edges. both without any damage.

I had fantastic success and luck with Amtrak (of all people). You crate it up a bit, they put it on a pallet and off it goes. The only rub is that you need to get it to the nearest train station and your buyer needs to pick it up at their nearest... but, wow, where they cheap!!!
