We are a dealer for Continental Cargo trailers, and although I'm far from an expert, I do agree with pretty much everything said so far. I think the 18' will be a little tight for a Mustang. A 20' would in my opinion be a bare minumum.
Also don't overlook axles. My spec sheet shows a 20' trailer with 3500# axles has a payload capacity of 3800#. That doesn't leave much room for anything else. A 20' trailer with 5200# axles has a payload capacity of 6470#. I would feel a lot better with that.
I can get a 20' trailer with 5200# axles for about $6200 FOB Indiana.
I also LOVE E-Track! It allows you to tie down anywhere so odd loads are no problem. E-track can also be easily added to a used trailer.
Hope this helps!
Dana
