Default **Car Trailer Needed**

Good afternoon guys,

I need a car trailer to go and pickup my new toy (63 Nova). I tried my usual rental places and they do not have anything available. Does anyone have one or know of someone who would rent me a trailer for this weekend? I have cash and can provide insurance cards or whatever they would need. I can also sign a contract and provide a drivers liscense, or anything they might want.

I am a stand up guy just looking to borrow a trailer for a few days. Let me know if anyone can help. Thanks!!!

-Jamin

Its not a project, it is mostly done. I think I might have found a trailer to use but its going to cost me $150. If I had the space I would just buy one!

What is the website of the nova forums we used to be on? I cant remember for the life of me.

I will definitely let you know when I get the car home. I am planning on making a showing at the meijer car show the next friday I am available as well.

Looks like I am stuck with the $150 trailer. I guess thats not too bad when it comes down to it.

Xpndlb3 - I tried UHaul and got serious attitude from some place and decided to say **** it. Im not going to beg someone to rent me a trailer.

Ls1 Propelled - The car is in Springfield, MO south west of St. Louis. I got a deal I couldnt refuse on the car and it is not going to effect my home buying situation in the slightest. Dont worry buddy your still my guy. I just need to find the time to get in the hunt. Working 70 hours a week lately. If you know someone with a trailer I could make it worth their while.

Pro2low - Definitely get the nova out on the road! What cam did you decide to go with? I had a pretty decent cam in my camaro and loved it. The nova I am picking up has a LS1 in it and a TR224/224 I cant exactly remember what my camaro had in it but I hope the Nova has some lope to it. I can always put something else in over the winter I suppose.

Yeah, I thought it was a decent deal. But I cant help myself when trying to find something better! It is a brand new trailer too, so I wont have to worry about someones piece of **** breaking down on me.

Yo man, if you need someone to give you a hand, road trip w/ let me know... I can make a call to see if a trailer is avail free.

PSJ, sorry its only a single place or I would have offered it up.... On the other note, if you cant get a dual place I can always come down with it to haul the toys home....

I think I am all set with the road trip guys. Thanks for the offer. I have been thinking about it and the $150 is a good piece of mind to have using a brand new trailer. It would be a HUGE hassle to have something break down. The $150 could be very cheap in the long run, I am going to consider it peace of mind and insurance.

Thank you again for the offer though!
