Default WTB a Car Hauler Trailer

I am looking for a nice used 14-16 ft trailer with a wood floor near the DFW area that is capable of hauling a C-2 Corvette! If have one or know of someone wanting to sell one I appreciate hearing from you!

You are going to be hard pressed to get a Corvette in a 14-16' trailer. It may... fit on paper, but in the real world, you will need a bit extra so you can get to the front tiedowns and reach under the car. Get at least a 18' and also make sure it is the 8.5' wide. again, 8' may work, but it will be a PITA to get in and out, unless you plan on always having the top down.

There is numerous "discount" trailer manufacturers, although currently inventory is low like everything else pushing the prices up, you should still be able to locate a "base car" trailer in the 8K Range. Used trailers are currently pulling new car trailer prices, so you might as well buy new...

Thanks for the suggestions from the previous posts but I need to make a clarification! I'm not looking for an inclosed trailer. Just a good open trailer that can make short hauls, mainly carrying a rolling frame.

Get at least a 16, w/Beaver tail. And also get 225-15 tires not the 205-15. This will make it pull much easier. If you are only looking to ever use it for the car 3500lb axels are ok, but for the few dollars upgrade I recommend the 5K axels. Removable ramps will be on most of the car trailers, depending on the beaver tail height, most will have either 4' or 6' ramps. I recommend getting the 6, will make it easier to load.

I am guessing you are looking budget, but look at the over all value, a couple hundred dollars makes a huge difference in open trailers.
