Question Houston area - anyone sell rollback car haulers?

It seems all the rollback type car haulers are in the DFW area, looking for a local seller to avoid the 8 hour round trip. Anyone know of a place in the Houston area that sells them? Like these:

Man I don't know if this would work for u or if u even would want somethin like this but I seen it a while back on cl.

Also I seen ur car at the track. I didn't know u had issues as I wasn't at the track long. But either way it's a very nice car.

Hey Tony, there is a place here in Porter off 1314 that sells the **** out of trailers, from wooden floors to diamond plate, i think they might have what you need, i will see if i can get the number, but this guy named "The trailer man", Marty Hester is the main guy on Hotrod Gossip that is supposed to be the **** as far as pricing goes and options, but i have never dealt with him:

281-380-4167 for Marty.

I bought my current trailer from Marty. Good deals, but I don't think he sells the rollback type trailers.

That one is similar to what I already have, and it isn't low enough for my Z06. My Viper barely gets on it, it is a little higher than the Z06.

What happened to your fully enclosed car hauler?

I just back the dovetail up to the arch of the approach for a driveway and load teh car off the driveway then whenever you get where youre going use boards to lessen the angle off the ramps.

Neil, I still have the enclosed. I prefer not to use it, unless I'm attending a full day or overnight event. It is a PITA to load and tie down lowered cars in, and I can't tow it nearly as quickly as my 18' open hauler.

QuickSilver, thanks for the offer. If it happens, I'll contact you!

New or used? A low profile drop deck trailer might work best if you have the $$$

Tony... Give Extreme Trailers of Texas here in Baytown a try. I bought mine from them, and their prices were decent. No hard sell, and they got me exactly what I was looking for. I'm sure they could accommodate you.
