Pace Shadow GT we used with the '66 Chevy II race car. It was a very low car and the collectors sometimes scraped on the transition from the ramp/door to the deck but unless you are a lot lower than stock it should be fine with an F-body. You'll need to factor in a winch in since there isn't room to open the doors once inside. We built a workbench in the front using rollaway toolboxes for the base, worked great.

I can't use a goose neck unless... the bandit trailer looks really nice, just have to find a dealer to talk out prices/

I'm hunting for a used one for cheaper first..
been there...went to the track, broke. it was about 1030 when it broke and couldnt get anyone to loan me their trailer close, so i drove 100 miles to my parents house, got my dad's trailer, 100 miles back to the track the next day, (yes i left it at the track) picked up the car, trailered car 30 miles to where im at for school, then drove 130 miles down to drop the trailer off, then 130 miles back to where i live....long long weekend.

yea, it does. i like being able to say i can drive my car to the track, bust off some sick times and drive it home, but sometimes its not worth the risk. esp. when your leaving the line at 6k on slicks side stepping the clutch. too much room for **** to go wrong and leave you hunting a trailer home.

dang when did she get that you starting an SS family? is that strong enough to tow an enclosed trailer seems like that would be right at its limits.

on a side note ill store it for you when you down here if you want just gotta make sure with my dad as long as i get to use it also
