[QUOTE="Ray Muratore, post: 1007130, member: 69372"] Yes, it's a bit more trailer than the car needs... Cortina is 14ft long. trailer is an 18 foot bed. It came as a package. This is the trailer - http://www.johnsontrailerco.com/car_hauler_wood_floor.php I plan to move the car back.. I also plan to load her tail first to put the engine weight behind the axles. I was hoping to be able to use the front 3 feet to load spares and tools. Trailer is something like 3,000lbs (Have an email to johnson to confirm). Car is 1,800 w/fuel. I'll look into a weight dist hitch as well. (Still thinking about pushing wife to let me do an F-150). As much as I love the STA, this work is really on the high end of her abilities. Johnny, I actually found this about 90 minutes away in SW New Jersey... It started life out in Wisconsin... Has been a race car since 1970. http://webpages.charter.net/hmrracing/hmr_racing_cortina_003.htm [/QUOTE]
