WTB: Trailer for CRX

Just shopping right now, but does anyone know where I can get a small trailer to haul a CRX or have any idea what one might cost?

You will have to buy wood to do what you want to with it and probably a storage box. I figure you could probably get away with spending about $250 if you do the work yourself.

WOW

That's cheap! I'm all for going as lightweight as possible!

I think he meant haul the CRX, not pull by the CRX!

Yes, as in a 14' long trailer that I could drive the CRX onto such that the two, trailer and car, could be pulled by an F-150 to places like Charlotte. No stereo would suck during a drive to Peru or somewhere moderately far from home, so I'm just thinking ahead for out of town events.

Mark: Were you thinking tire trailer or just being yourself (funny)? It's often hard to tell if you're joking. I probably shouldn't have said "small trailer." Although the CRX is relatively small, and I'd like to get the smallest trailer possible for it.

No, I was being serious. I guess I read your post too quickly. Keep in mind, I used to drive my car to events and even drove it to Topeka the first time I went to nationals. To me, a small trailer is a tire trailer.

A trailer to haul a car on is a "car" trailer.

Oooohhhhh.
Presidence is now set for ETR trailer terminology. "Small" or "Tire" shall be used in reference to trailers towed behind a race car. "Big" or "Car" shall reference those carrying a car pulled behind a truck/SUV.

Sorry for the smart ass comments since you weren't just being funny. I did crack up when I saw the trailers you recommended because I thought you understood my post and were just giving me a hard time

.

If you find a car trailer for $250 let me know!

I don't really have a problem driving the car out of town because it sure isn't hurting mechanically. However, Robert only has a guess about how many miles are on the engine, and I'd like to keep wear and tear on it to a minimum. It's just an idea I probably can't afford.

Where's Visschus? He might have one that he would part with for that.

I paid a little over $1000 for mine many years ago.

You might try talking to Dave Disney. He built his and it would probably be fine for the CRX.

Ted: Got Trailer? ...I'll trade a bike for it... or guns.

This one looks decent, if you do not mind going to Nueva York to get it.

What year CRX? I have a dandy trailer I use to haul my '87 ITC car with. I just bought a Spec Miata and I'm thinking about getting something bigger. (Although it has made a trip each to VIR, CMP and Barber with the SM on board.)

It's a single axle version of this trailer: http://www.texasbragg.com/product/produ ... um=cch5000

12' deck, slide out ramps, surge brakes, tie-downs, already balanced with wheel stops for the CRX. I paid about $1600 for it last year.

Let me know if you think you might be interested.

I have an enclosed car hauler that is 18 ft. long over all and 16' 6" inside. It has an electric wench and some cabinets. It is a tandem wheel with four wheel electric brakes and four almost new tires. I used it to haul a MG midget. If interested my e-mail is fprod64@peoplepc.com. A F-150 will pull it very well. Asking $2,000
