Hi guys - The trailer is going up for sale (no more tow vehicle). Yes, I still have the Camaro, but no time to race it at the moment (or deliver the trailer, no tow vehicle). Been incredibly busy at work and back into racing bicycles, triathlons, flying, and homebrew. I'll probably get back into it in a few years again. Seems to go in 5-10 year cycles <shrug>.

I purchased this trailer new from Atlantic Coast Trailers in the spring of 2001. It was used 2 to 3 times per year until 2008, and then not very frequently. Since I'm no longer road racing, I no longer need a trailer. A similar trailer new with these options would be over $4,000. Let me know if anyone has questions. I'm also listing it on Craigslist and Racing Junk. If you know other places to list, please let me know. Apparently there's a big RV community that uses car trailers too. Thanks for the help!

Looks like a good trailer, and not to nic-pick, but that's 7000 GVWR, so it's capacity would be 7000 minus the weight of the trailer (it has 2 3500 lbs axles).

Chad - Thanks for the correction - makes sense considering the twin 3500# axles. I'll make the edit.
