Fake repo? Please? Surely some donkey didn't whack up a C3 to make that pos?

I've seen a few of them. Good use of a wrecked car if you ask me.

I like it , saw one behind a C3 that matched with the paint and was more aerodynamic in the front

Instead of wow, I'd ask why? Aside from the novelty, what are you going to put in that trailer? A suitcase on he luggage rack??

Hi,
Ride height seems a bit high.... must have an aftermarket spring on it!
Wouldn't it be something if that rear clip was from a 69 side exhaust car?!?! No flares. Look at the rear valance!
Regards,
Alan

A very close friend of mine had a 77 that he sold. The guy that bought hit a power pole and it ended up being a trailer similar to this one.

I see no shut lines, for a trunk.

Sooo...you load by unsnapping that "tonneu?"

And what keeps your stuff from flying forward, popping the snaps, and hitting the road, in a panic stop? Some elastic mesh inside?

Not to mention ease-of-theft of the contents.

Thanks for posting, as it's interesting, but I'll pass.

If the front were solid and it had an opening trunk, then I'd be impressed.

It was for sale on craigslist a few months ago, I think here in Northern Virginia. I guess this person bought it. I know there are a few of these around, but I doubt with the sign in the back window like this one has.

I sort of like it. Probably not the most aerodynamic design. Also wonder if it still has the removable rear window in it that will probably never be used again.
