Hey Guys- Add me to the "want a trailer" list. I'm near Chattanooga.

[tpiini]

Are you guys looking for enclosed trailers or just flatbed haulers? I bought a simple flatbed hauler a few years ago brand new for $1,300.00 at a local trailer place in CA. I can't imagine they'd be any more expensive out your way.

Used trailers (enclosed especially) are hard to find. If your friends know, as soon as they see one they can let you know. Happened to me - I bought used the day the ad hit the paper because a father in law called friend/neighbor who called me. Check the shopper's bulletins- many folks don't advertise used stuff in the paper anymore - they want the free ads. Good Luck. PS -- enclosed is handy with a cobra.

Hey Gordon,

There are quite a few on Ebay. Also, up near the shop, a new trailer place has opened, RPM Trailers. 706-654-2882. They mostly have new stuff on their lot, but carry Haulmark, Pace, ATC, and a nice aluminum flat bed trailer. They're located west of I-85, about 1 mile heading towards McMichaels. Also, Country Boy Trailers in Alpharetta maintains an inventory of new/used, and there is a Pace dealer in Conyers, last time I was there, they had some used car haulers for sale.

I got a used 20' pace off the web @ racejunk.com. Great trailer, great price.

I can understand a real cobra being trailered to an event to race.

Why would you guys trailer kit cars, are they that unreliable?
or perhaps, y'all don't want to lose the rugs.

[davidlee]

tifosi,
I must admit I normally don't reply to a smart a$$ but I'll take exception to you.
First there are a number of us that don't have kit cars, but you probably don't know the difference.All of our cars are real. They are just not original. Second, most of these cars are high dollar and when we go to shows,races and ect. we want to feel that our cars are safe while we are in a motel. Third, most of these cars are roadsters with no top so if bad weather sets in we can keep our cars safe from the elements. I can't speak for others but mine is a new chasis, new engine and a new transmission, in other words a new car.
Mabie, if you ever own one you will understand.
David

[What'saCobra?]

Aw, be nice guys. Perhaps our darling tifosa has a Ferrari and was insulting us because he already uses an air-conditioned 18-wheel stacker with a proper lift-gate for his Enzo(s).

Wonder if we can sucker him into a pink-slip run? Daytona anyone?

[DAVID GAGNARD]

The reason I trailer my car to race events is so if it breaks or I brake something or God forbid, have an accident on track, at least I can get home and get the car home.....................

If you have ever done any racing you would know all about Murphy's law and how it applies to race cars and racing............................................ ......

PS: an enclosed trailer not only protects everything from the elements and adds a lot of security, once your home, it's also doubles for a one car garage.....................

Now use that little grey area you have, just how many " real Cobras" have you seen on the track racing or have you ever been to the track? After a weekend at the track I really don't need to drive it anouther eight hundred miles going home. A Superformance isn't a kit car but even if one has a kit it's smart to protect the investment and not add unnecessary miles. What do you drive to the track an off the shelf used Corvette?

[Clois Harlan]

Well said David. Those are the exact reasons I have an enclosed trailer. Plus, they are a nice place to store several sets of slicks and wheels.

Clois

[tifosi]

David and Clois,

I extend my apologies to the both of you.

I have many clients with the real thing and have had the fortunate opportunity to drive.

I am a BIG fan of the cars, just not of the people that take themselves a bit tooooooo serious!(not saying that is either of you)

I do admit that I, in a momentary lapse of reason,thought it might be fun to mix it up a little.

I mean no disrespect to the heritage and enjoyment of said vehicles.

My reference is not regarding the weekend racers, SVRA, HSR or any related vintage racing.
I understand and have used several trailers for this purpose.

You must admit it is fun to take a poke at the person trailering the car 5 miles to the yocal car show.

NART

[What'saCobra?]

Hmmm. Fair enough, time will tell.

Meanwhile, while the dust settles, i was curious if your name really is NART or have you appropriated the North American Racing Team initials from Luigi Chinetti's heirs & assigns for your customer services?

You might find this group rather widely exposed to most things automotive and while the site is and remains clearly Cobra, the membership strikes me not in the least mono-moniacal about only things Cobra. (i have been assured, for instance, that several members actually own Chevy engines, though admittedly not very often in their Cobras.)

i even suspect some members are old Chinetti customers and perhaps even team members and employees, but that's just a guess.

So, personal welcomes if you wish to add to the core knowledge and enjoyment of Cobras or even just want to read, learn & kibitz. But, your curtain-raiser was certainly inauspicious and mildly antagonizing to perhaps not a few proud owners of these occasional gems.

i've had my own knuckles rapped a few times and have learned accordingly.

So, welcome aboard from absolutely nobody important but us mice.

Any trailers for sale?

[WV66AC]

No top, no roll bar, no hair, no rug. Car so old I ain't sure what it is. Just traded 03 PU so my tow vehicle is old 97 suburban. Hope we get to London without blown heads. That boy can't conceptualize a two hour ride with a BB. Probably belongs to the tuner nation.
