Sometimes you can make friends with the local tow company, and offer them cash to move it when they don't have any service calls or priority work. Should be able to get a break and they'll move it with a flatbed. That's how most mechanics get their huge toolboxes moved.

I used to do that when moving my last project car around, for $75 it wasn't worth going to get my friend's trailer, hook it up, winch the car up, bring it home, then go return the trailer.

You have to be able to lock the steering box to temporarily fix the front wheels into a non-steering capacity. Without the column/steering wheel in place, that is hard to do. You can try wrapping chains around the drag link/idler arms to limit movement. Otherwise, without the body weight to force the wheels to follow their caster settings properly, it will fling the front wheels in either direction.
