EDIT: Finally sold it. Well, kind of gave it away, but seeing as how a friend has his 28 ft enclosed for $4500 and it hasn't sold yet, it's looking like the market is soft on trailers. It's going to a guy who needs a lighter trailer for his 69 Camaro drag car that won't knock his trans pan off when he loads it. I think it'll fit that bill quite nicely.
Well, now that Nick's trailer has found a new home (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif) it's time to make some space for it. It's a 1992 model, and has been in our possession since about 2001. It has served us well, and the only reason for selling it is because we no longer need it. It has slide-out ramps, and they are extra long, probably 10 feet (I haven't measured them), making loading a lowered car much easier. We've had NO issues loading our C Prepared Firebird. I believe it is a 5000# GVW trailer, I'd have to verify that. but we've had our Firebird on it, a first-gen Ford Lightning, our 95 9C1 Caprice, and our 68 4-door Cadillac on it with no problems. It has a 2" ball Bulldog hitch, adjustable trailer jack (pull a pip pin and you can retract the jack arm up into the jack quickly). It is open down the middle, making carrying things smaller than a car difficult, but allows you to get under the car when it's on the trailer and do some work/checking without having to unload the car and put it up on jack stands. The trailer deck is 83" wide and 15' long. The overall length of the trailer is 18'7", which allows it to easily fit into many garages. In fact that's what we'd do after an event, simply back the trailer, with the car on it, into the garage and close the door. Ready for the next event. Now, we have a shop with more space, but the fact that it would fit in many suburban garages was a selling point. It has electric brakes, and a round 7-pin electrical plug that works with most late-model GM trucks. It may need re-wiring for Ford or Dodge. It has no spare mount, but does have a spare tire. All wheels are 15". The driver's side fender is removable, should you need that feature. The suspension is leaf spring, not torsion bars. We'd like to get $1800 OBO. It's not pretty, but functional. It could probably use a coat of paint, but what's there is okay for a factory job. It's been stored inside when not towing since we've owned it. Let me know if you have any questions.
