You will scratch the living sh!t out of it that way as the covers blow all over the new paint and any grit that gets between.
Rent an enclosed trailer or pony up for someone to transit for you.

Do any of the rental companies (UHaul, etc) rent trailers one way that are big enough to fit a Cobra inside? I have a Chevy Trailblazer, and when I enter the vehicle in the website it says the biggest enclosed trailer they have that my Chevy will pull is 12' x 6'. I don't have my Cobra here where I am now to measure, will a Cobra fit inside this thing? I can't imagine that 6' is wide enough. Anyone have any ideas? I have to get my Chevy and my Cobra, as well as a whole bunch of stuff from NY to Houston. I figured a nice big trailer with the Cobra and a bunch of stuff in it, pulled by the Chevy, and I get it all done in one shot. Ideas, anyone?

This is so right. I saw a $20K custom paint job ruined because the guy here tried doing just what you suggested. He had to have the whole car repainted and pay for it because he had did it himself. Next time he hired a car hauler with an enclosed trailer and made sure that they knew what they were doing. The car arrived home in perfect condition.

If you drive it, eventually it's going to get nicks and chips. Mine was repainted in 2008 and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd chips really bothered me.  After putting few more thousand miles on the car, not so much anymore. |

I rented a U-Haul 15 foot box van and put my ERA in there.

How'd you get it up into the box? You must have had a loading dock or some really, really, really long, strong ramps...

I was wondering that myself. Pat -- could you post a link to a picture of what it is you're talking about when you say "15' Box Van?" |
