Default Open car trailer dimensions

Came across a trailer today that is 76" between the fenders.
Would it work with a 4th gen Camaro?

Thanks
Mike

The open trailer I purchased was built for a 4th gen with a higher deck, dove tail, longer ramps and such to make loading and unloading easier. I'll try to measure tonight.

Another thing to consider is that you maybe able to use a trailer that is narrower then the width of the car as long as the tires are fully on the trailer and the bodywork will not bounce down and contact the fenders of the trailer. You need to measure how tall those fenders are and then figure on 3-4" above that and measure the width of the car there to see if you have any issues.
