As far as this whole matching trailer thing....I saw the real thing in Bowling Green at the F-body Gathering several years ago. It was a NBM SS Vert, with a white top, white leather, and white 30th Anniv. wheels, pulling what was once the rear half of another vert, with matching wheels. The front clip mounted straight to the rear half, but had no winshield. It did have the vert top, still operable to boot, but when the top is down, the trailer had a nice clean profile.

Wonder if you could legally have the seats in the trailer, and tow it with people in there. Obviously you'd have the seat belts still.

I seriously doubt that would be legal, but I could be wrong.

I'm just thinking because look at Motorcycle side-cars. They're attached by nothing more than a weaker piece of metal in comparison to a trailer hitch, AND it's open, AND easily tipable! I could "and" again, but I'll just add that if you wire up the rear/front sensors you could still have airbags lol Do sidecars even have seatbelts?

We have been camping a few times in the Formula, but we use a tent. You can see the tent reflection in the rear quarter panel in this pic.

Should get one of those huge 8-man tents that you can walk around in, and then back the bird up to the opening, pop the trunk and have some music heh (only for awhile, not to toast the battery)
