This is what I usually use. I have rollers on one of my sets of jack stands so we drop the front on his flatbed and he pulls it out of the garage and onto the truck. Usually pays me for it to.

How to "Haul" a car

Sorry for the spelling, I tried to go back and change the title but it wouldn't let me.

OK, I have another technical question about this, my home is down a pretty steep hill. I am really not sure if i can get a truck with a trailer down there to pull the car out (especially if its on a roller of some sort.

Here is a picture of the hill at the top of my drive. It's not very clear but i think it gives an idea. In all of my cars, if I try to pack out of the drive, I end up smoking the tires when I get about half way up.

Al: Fixed the title for you.

If I were to do this, the first thing I would do would be to call around and MAKE SURE it can be hauled away. I wouldn't want to be stuck with a carcass on my property that I'd have to pay a good buck to have removed!

I just did this about 3 wks ago! I had a 92 Audi that I parted out and it had no wheels and was sitting on blocks! I called a local guy here with a rollback and winch. i dropped the car off the blocks and he hung the cable on it and pulled the whole works up on the bed! No charge either he made a few bucks off the scrap!
